It is very difficult to explain, but the Telectroscope is an 'installation' set up both at Tower Bridge in London and Brooklyn Bridge in New York. At its simplest, it is a fibre-optics transmission between two continents allowing each to view the other in real-time - a bit like a large webcam. What makes this special is it's marketing. It's being sold as a Jules Verne-esque style tunnel from one to the other and is dressed as a large, brass, electronic telescope.
As I say, difficult to explain, but great fun. Whilst I messaged all and sundry to come along and wave hello, nobody managed to make it, but there again, it is the sort of thing that needs to be seen to be understood.
I have made plans for a 'wave' with my buddies over here sometime soon.
I'll give it a week before the first trans-Atlantic moon!!!!! Go Howard!!!! LOL
See.. if you had told me.. I would have totally been there. this is why I must be in the know of ALL things!
