Katie Jeffery, a Cal Poly grad, will be joining the Data Studio
opening next Thursday morning to demo a cool interactive 3D “digital
video globe” that displays data of various kinds: “Magic Planet.”
It’s primarily marketed to museums and schools, but Katie will be
bringing it to Cal Poly to help us celebrate, and she’ll be leading a
demo at 1:30 pm the same day (Thurs April 26), in the Data Studio
(Library 111C).
According to Katie, “Magic Planet includes extensive ready-made
exhibits as well as drag and drop animations, feature films and
exhibits including: tours of the solar system, plate tectonics, etc.
These have been developed by organizations such as NASA and the
European Space Agency. … Magic Planet is currently used by
organizations such as: American Museum of Natural History in NY,
Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, NASA , NOAA and may others.”
Current installations can be seen at:

Stephen Wolfram, a 52-year-old scientist, software designer and entrepreneur, tends to go his own way — often with noteworthy results. He published his first physics paper at 15, earned his Ph.D. from Caltech at 20 and two years later won a MacArthur prize.
Less than three years ago, Dr. Wolfram created a new kind of search engine, called Wolfram Alpha. Unlike Google or Microsoft’s Bing, Wolfram Alpha does not forage the Web. It culls its own painstakingly curated database to find answers.
