I'm currently Curator of the Future at London Transport Museum. I've been working for 2 years on the wide-ranging initiative looking at the future of cities beyond the transport systems. The exhibition Sense and the City is one of the current results.

Powerful new forces are shaping the way we live, work and travel in the city. GPS, electric vehicles, pervasive internet access, sensor data, short range wireless communication, reactive surfaces, augmented reality, open data, smart phones and a blizzard of new apps are combining to redefine the way we see and experience London. Sense and the City unravels the digital future, illustrates the power of emerging applications and poses questions about mobility, society and work in the Capital over the next decade.

The displays look at the development of technology and its integration into the - social, economic and political fabric of the city. The gradual convergence of devices which has led to smart phones, tablets and laptops and wireless networked devices is illustrated on a wall of retro technology including 1980s brick-sized mobile phones, Commodore computers and the earliest wireless devices.

A centrepiece of the exhibition is an interactive table with eight screens that allows visitors to view a wealth of video, animations, data visualisation and images on subjects ranging from the cashless society and driverless cars to reactive buildings and augmented reality. Visitors are invited to join in and give their views about whether the plethora of new digital information and opportunity for access is exciting, a huge worry or a total waste of time.
