Redwood is ostensibly a lighting company, but they also have a ton of sensor data. I built some APIs on a MongoDB backend for managing a slice of this data in the Redwood offices.
Vinyl was a javascript visualization of this data, greatly inspired by 'Icicle,' one of Nathan's projects. Each circle is a sensor in the building -- they light up when something moves within their detection radius. There was a barebones UI, vaguely inspired by youtube, that let people rewind to any part of the day or change the playback speed.
