The modern city is becominga pointer system, the new URL, for tomorrow’s hybrid digital–physical environment.

Cities rely on data to function and to be sustainable sentient networks alleviate pressure on supply and distribution chains

Voice recognition technology is nearly reaching its tipping point.

However, the spoken word is only a start. Computer vision can pick up non-verbals and gesturing to complete human communication.
