London is currently audition theme for a new tourist attracter as part of the2012 Olympics . On the short list is MIT ’s digital Cloud , a self - keep up notice pack of cards made of gauzy bubbles that broadcast information to witness below .

A global team of architects , applied scientist , and artist , organized by MIT’sCarlo Ratti , has pitchedthe Cloudto the city of London for the 2012 Games . The Cloud would serve as part memorial , part park , and part billboard . Visitors would be able to walk inside the high - flying bubble , which would double as screens , broadcasting weather selective information , sports scores , and other data , which could be seen from the ground . The Cloud would also be ego - sustain , not snitch into any power grid , and would derive its muscularity from a compounding of solar , tip , and water major power .

The Cloud is a finalist in the competition to make a memorial for the London Olympics , but even if it is not selected , the squad hope to build up it . They ’ve already started a fundraising effort in causa they do n’t succeed the London contract .
