Immersive Dome Replaces Flat Movie Screen: Don’t Just Watch, Join The Action! Aug 19, 2009
This is why, at the IBC from September 11 to 15, 2009, digital dome projection from the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Architecture and Software Technology FIRST is being combined with the 'Spatial Pan' sound system from the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT. Another show-stopper: Visitors can actively participate in the creation of content. To do so, a camera films your face and projects it live onto a dome movie screen. (Science Daily)

SUBVERSE: Computers vs brains Apr 2, 2009
In the brain's wiring, space is at a premium, and is more tightly packed than even the most condensed computer architecture. One cubic centimetre of human brain tissue, which would fill a thimble, contains 50 million neurons; several hundred miles of axons, the wires over which neurons send signals; and close to a trillion synapses, the connections between neurons.
