Real-time information about electricity production

Real-time city

A basic instance of revealing the invisible through technology (urban computing!?).

Seen in Lyon, France yesterday, it actually represents the real-time production (percentage), the cumulated production since 2005 and the equivalent of saved greenhouse gas.

    Nice! I remember the student pavilion at Kansai Gaidai in Osaka had a similar setup, displayed on one of the walls under its solar array.
