[AG-TECH] High End Portable Access Grid System

[Bob Riddle]

take a look at: http://www-personal.umich.edu/%7Ebdr/et/gocart/index.html

use "normal" cameras that are connected to a Canopus analog/digital 
converter which is then plugged into the firewire hub.  We choose to 
mount a single LCD screen for simplicity and because this "go-cart" is 
used for a number of different collaborative technologies.
