Check out this 3D interactive light sculpture.

Unnumbered Sparks, a sculpture in Vancouver, BC by Janet Echelman utilizes smartphones connected to a special WiFi portal, to allow visitors to direct animations onto a woven mesh floating in midair.  The projection itself, is Chrome browser window, amazingly enough, using WebGL.

As a Kickstarter-funded project via the Burrard Art Foundation, in conjunction with TED's 30th anniversary, this is one cool project!  I had seen a notice about it before, but I didn't realize that it was an interactive, animated projection;  I wish that I had signed up on this to get one of her serialized prints.  Awesome stuff.
