Too bad these things are not open to the public to put on some music and visuals and take some drugs. Cause i would be down.

AFOAF talked to the major players working on it, as consequently AFOAF is involved in one of the research groups for it, and they said that it will mostly be used for research. So materials research lets say, where you can situate yourself in some molecule cluster, and move around in it to see it on a very small level. Its pretty amazing really, its fully 3-D, fully interactive so you can fly around, or walk around in something, or really examine anything from any angle. But they also said it will be used for art projects and stuff of that nature. AFOAF cant wait until he gets to actually experience it.

What the hell do they need 200 channels of sound for?
Are they hiring?

500 channels of sound. Haha I dont know why they need it. AFOAF was talking to this composer there, who is associated with the project. She talked about the importance of sound in work, and related sound to some mystical new wave crap so AFOAF more or less ignored her. But I guess they are taking sound seriously.

The demo that AFOAF saw was of the inside of a brain. Apparently some guy went in and got his brain scanned into a million different slices. They spliced it back together to make a seamless world that you could move around in in 3-d, which happened to be the inside of a brain. The composer made it interactive in that, you could look at something and youd see trippy things float by, if you interacted with them itd make weird digital music.

More than 200-channel real-time sound synthesis cluster
I think they mean something more like a 200-channel mixing console or midi sequencer, not 200 actual amplifier paths.
