Earth’s Universe

Jonathan Harris has done some pretty innovative stuff. He was the person behind Yahoo Timecapsule, he did the “We feel fine” project in collaboration with Lovelines and how he’s done Universe. I was watching his video on TED when I found about his Universe project.

It’s a beautiful idea to present all the things happening around in the world as a huge universe of information and then give the user control over how they want to explore it. And the best part being that the representation is not the usual web interface we are all used to but a good inspiration of how the universe looks to us from earth. Check out his talk below and make sure you visit the universe website.
