A joint project between the Science Museum and Google Chrome, Web Lab consists of five interactive experiments, each designed to illustrate a particular aspect of Internet technology. The interactive nature of the exhibition - which ranges from Universal Orchestra (an eight piece robotic orchestra designed to show the collaborative potential of the Internet), to Sketchbots, in which a robotic arm sketches portraits of users in sand - aims to educate users about web technology while simultaneously illustrating, in a creative, stylish and stimulating way, its potential applications. The site features live, 24-hour streaming of the experiments as well as explanatory videos describing the technology behind each experiment.
