Light Nucleus
Augmented Reality that detects motions and adds visual graphics via Processing according to your movement in the space. He has a version that is also sound activated.
POW : Haptic Sound
Although this project does not harvest energy, I can imagine something like this in tandem with the energy harvesting dance floor, at which point the entire experience would be user-generated.
Past/ Potential Urban Interventions
I've come across plenty of videos about linking plants to networks so they can tell you when they need watering, but this project goes far beyond that.
This project from a few years ago addresses urban issues and also provides an interactive solution.
Illah Nourbakhsh Lecture: Ethics in Robotics
Though not directly relevant to class, a great talk about ethics in robotics. Something to chew on while we dabble in the cyber world.
AMANDA PARKES: Phrases of the Kinetic: Organicism and Transformation fro...
Harnessing bodily energy... through fashion. Robotics is no longer just for geeky boys with pocket protectors! Mmmm... wearable algae, who knew?

Networked Buoyant Individuals / Piezoelectrical Generation
Taken as a combined proposal, I think these two videos create a phylogenetic field of possiblity.
A dense cloud of floating piezoelectrical generators could capture the waste energy of East span Bay Bridge pile driving, for example, at the same time alleviating construction-related noise pollution; a network of intelligent photovoltaic balloons could not only follow sunbursts from one side of the city to the other but shade festival-goers in Golden Gate park.
