Actually, using a laptop PIG and a proxy server much like the VVP, this would
work pretty well to address your issue of portability. It's only one stream
but that's all you really need at that point.<br>
<br>
I'm working with a company called Complete AV Solutions on a similar prototype
for the Skokie Fire Department where a fire fighter can ware a computer with
the display in his/her helmet where we can stream an image of a floor plan
or a 360 degree stitched JPG image. It's called Emergency Response Mapping.
This will soon be using some components of the VVP from EVL and it will
receive VGA and MPEG video and audio streams from the NCast Telepresenter
M2.<br>
<br>
Perhaps we'll connect a camera and mic and send streams back to the AG -
Hmmm...<br>

Subject: Re: [AG-TECH] "cyborg" PIG ?
Theoretically, it could work, but the AG is a little more
demanding than your average point-to-point video
conferencing. It's both CPU and network intensive. People
have run the PIG software on laptops with decent results, but
as soon as more than 2 or 3 streams start coming in, it
either bogs down the network or CPU or both. I would see
wireless net as being the bottleneck if it's 802.11b. You
might squeak by if you're running 802.11a. Just my thoughts.
Anyone else?
