Webcamability

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

 

We all know about construction webcams.  Typically they are static images that refresh occasionally from a single position.  This is interesting and helpful, but I would love to see a construction webcam that is set up like this ski resorts webcams.  At Park City Mountain Resort in Utah, they let webcam viewers take control of the webcams allowing angle and zoom change.  If multiple viewers are requesting camera control at once a short queue is generated. 

Imagine if we could do this with our construction cams, zoom in on something we need more information about or need to review.  I’m sure it’s been done, I’ve just never seen it.  If you know of a project that has this set up, I’d love to see it!
