ResumoImagine a young child donning a Daft Punk-like head-mounted display and wearing a Minority Report-like data glove starring at a gigantic flat screen displaying a high-resolution planet Earth. Now imagine that kid intuitively opening her hand in repeated, almost choreographed movements, synchronised with the response you see on the screen. She keeps zooming in until she distinguishes continents, and then regions, countries, cities, streets, houses and trees. Suddenly, a specific area catches her attention and she sets off exploring it on a vertiginous magic carpet ride above a three-dimensional visualisation of the terrain.
