Infosys, in collaboration with the Financial Times, or FT, announced the digital revival of the Monetary National Income Analogue Computer, or MONIAC, courtesy of a new virtual reality experience, the ‘FT Money Machine’. Infosys and The Financial Times have taken economist Bill Phillips’ original invention, a hydraulic analog computer created in 1949 that used water to model and study economic systems, as the foundation for an extended reality project. The new XR app, accessible through Apple Vision Pro and available in the App Store, recreates the Moniac’s functionality while adding new, interactive features. The FT Money Machine also incorporates the academic backing of the London School of Economics and Cambridge University.
