Millennium Park says…

To see the most recent technological innovations in robotics, health care, sustainable energy, and art — or if you simply want to hang out at Chicago's coolest gathering of nerds — hit up the two-week-long WIRED NextFest in Millennium Park. Play a game of Brainball in which opponents put on brain-wave-detecting headbands and try to remain the calmest, then discover how robotic prosthetics can re-create real limbs. You can even immerse yourself in the realm of low-tech gone high-tech — the latest trends in erasable paper and solid ink are here for the ogling.
