One of the coolest features of the new Evolving Planet exhibit at the Chicago Field Museum is a computer animation of a Cambrian seabed circa 543 Million BCE that runs in an extended loop on a gi-normous surround screen (three panels, actually). Fantastical creatures reconstructed from fossils swim through the seascape and do all kinds of clever sea-creature like things.
Lower the lights, put Dark Side of the Moon on the turntable, and come back for me in morning. Beats the heck out of those laser lightshows we had when I was a kid.
