The feed portal, or shop window to the web in Brewers Quay is nearly set. Many thanks to SES Computers, the staff at Brewers Quay, Dave, Darren and Andy for all their help, I definitely couldn't have done it without them. My legs really aching now, despite spending most of my time with my feet up... Anyway, this is where I left it...
So I have four channels on 10 monitors... I ideally would like to run all this off one uber pc with 20 large flatscreens and 10 channels, camera drones, WLAN cams...
Maybe next time but for now I've had to keep it simple (ha!) by using ready made web interfaces and an old pc per channel.
As for the channels these are all promising much but getting them to consistently deliver in the way I needed turned out to be days worth of hassle too. It all seemed so simple when I suggested the webby bit as a marketing technique... and then had to turn it into an art installation.
A good experience though and I think this is a great concept for a wide range of events. Combining a massive, user generated body of web content with a geographically localised portal. This allows people to be drawn form the web to the event, and promotion of specific aspects of the event itself, to participants already there, via the portal. I think.
In this instance me on my scooter using my N95 to stream to Qik will be the only camera drone. I really fancy a mini air ship based remote control flying camera, that'd be awesome. Enough rambling, the feeds are all in place and are as follows
