Check out this stunning video of inventor JoAnn Kuchera-Morinis demonstrating the Allosphere at the last TED conference. The Allosphere is a 3 story high chamber that allows researchers to stand in the middle of incredible visual and sonic representations of their data. Complex algorithms are powered by a super-computer to bring data to life in breakthrough fashion.
One can imagine many uses for this technology and it is a good example of one way the scientific discovery process will accelerate in the near future.

Reminds me of some 3d graphs of Sims data that Will Wright presented at an Accelerating Change conference in 04 or 05—except that in this case your standing in the middle of the data. Great example of a human intelligence amplifier.
