Cisco’s Telepresence is amazing! But spendy ($300K per room).
OK, forget that idea… How about webex ? http://www.webex.com/individual/online-meeting.html Haven’t used it for ~ 5yrs, but it might be worth looking into. -Qua From: Boise Experimental
Music Festival [mailto:khartung@cableone.net] This
year's festival hasn't even begun, and I'm already thinking about next
year. Next year I would like to expand my horizons. I figure that if I
can't bring all the people I want from other countries to the festival, I'm
going to bring them their virtually. Next year, I am thinking of
having a fair amount of virtual performers at the festival...not like
Ninjam, etc, but featured performers on the main schedule and projected on a
giant video screen on the stage with audio video. Anyone
out there know much about the technology required to do this? I am not
too much concerned about latency, but more interesting in audio/video
quality. I've done some experimenting with just the video functionality
of various instant messengers, and some aren't too bad if you have a decent web
cam. Thoughts?
Ideas? I really want to do this, and if I can pull this off with decent
quality, next year I will feature 50% of the performers as virtual, and may
even blend that with the local performers. Kris Krispen
