WIRED Nextfest 2005.

The WIRED NextFest this year in Chicago was really interesting, having a good mix of technology companies, military, robots, and media artists. Over 30,000 people came for the 3 day event and while it was exhausting, it was great to see the other technolgies and meet the other people exhibiting. There seemed to be no lack of video interation or augmented video inputs, but something that I cannot forget was seeing 1 of 6 real cloned cats in the world.
