Data Visualizing…Air?
In an attempt to add some context to something that we all need, but have a hard time wrapping our collective heads around (yeah…air), some geniuses in Madrid have actually visualized all of the things that make up and invade our air. Check out more information and images at Brain Pickings…

In terms of realism, virtual worlds have been interesting and engaging, but far from realistic. More like cartoon or semi-realistic gaming environments, they have failed to live up to the hope of [...]
