The Future of Information Interfaces for Emergency Management

“Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are developing an innovative work environment specialized for the management of emergency responses. A PIE system consists of a combination of novel interactive interfaces that aim to transform the way stakeholders, ranging from first responders to policy makers to the public, engage with each other and with dynamic information.

Watch the above video, which demonstrates how the combination of several technological advances, ranging from life-size immersive data graphs and multi-touch maps, to cool touch-enabled handheld devices for courageous firemen-in-the-field, should augment the interaction with information.”

Very cool, i liked this clean interfaces design but i am not sure how this is practical or in real functional!
