Early prototype
A TRL is a measure to indicate the matureness of a developing technology. When an innovative idea is discovered it is often not directly suitable for application. Usually such novel idea is subjected to further experimentation, testing and prototyping before it can be implemented. The image below shows how to read TRL’s to categorise the innovative ideas.

Why?
Understanding the complexity of urban dynamics requires the combination of information from multiple city data sources and the active involvement of people for knowledge creation. SocialGlass supports social data analysis and sense-making at scale.
How?
SocialGlass is a platform that exploits big data processing and crowd-sourcing techniques to create, integrate, analyse and interpret big heterogeneous social data in real-time. Its output is a real-time dashboard for monitoring and/or ad hoc reports for sense making of data.
When?
SocialGlass has been successfully used during real-world city-scale events such as Milan Design Week 2013, Amsterdam Light Festival 2014, SAIL 2015, and King's Day 2016.
