Cybersyn's Operations Room

Cybersyn's Operations Room was a futuristic command center developed in the early 1970s to help the Chilean government manage the economy. It combined real-time data from factories and businesses, displayed on large screens, allowing officials to monitor production and address issues promptly. The room used computers and communication networks to facilitate swift decision-making, aiming for a more efficient and responsive economy. Its design reflected a pioneering attempt at using technology for centralized economic management, blending data, control, and visualization to improve government oversight and coordination.
