Data-driven Wallpaper

Now this is something I'd love to get my hands on: data-driven dyanmic wallpaper!.

The prototype analyzes audio from a café setting, accounting for various characteristics of the current activity level, such as the number of people speaking or the amount of background noise. The more the color diverts from the background, the noisier the café is. The number of 'dots' in each row represents the crowd, so that the more dots, the bigger the crowd was at that point. With a look at the projection, patrons can see how the activity level at the café has fluctuated over the week.
