At Lincoln Center in New York City, IBM's interactive THINK exhibit, open now through October 23, 2011, explores how science and information technology can make the world work better. Built to commemorate IBM's centennial, the free exhibit boasts a massive, 123-foot display that streams live data feeds captured from nearby sensors, such the flow of traffic (bottom) and air pollution levels. Helping cities analyze this data can lead to improvements such as easing traffic congestion and improving air quality.
