[AG-TECH] Voiceactivated Video Switching in AG3

[Mike Daley]

Hi Tom
The work I talked about at the retreat with the carousel idea has audio 
switching partially working. The original idea was to have the current 
site speaking bought to the front of the carousel. I know people were 
not particularly intested in the revolving carousel as such but the 
general principle could be used to auto place the video say around the 
screen and have the current active audio premoted to the centre. If 
people are interested I could modify my code.
All the best
Mike
