[HacktionLab] Video live stream

Hey

Spent the last 6 months working on the fringes of a project called Hidden Bradford http://www.hiddenbradford.com and we're talking at the moment about how to use something like this within the site. They are applying for some cash to get hold of something similar and use them as part of DocFest if I recall correctly.

It's not the most open source of projects due to the folk who started it off being pretty Twitter/WordPress orientated but the idea is to promote the best bits of Bradford and cast off the misconceptions and cliches (not to mention the views of the far right) and was initially conceived in response to the EDL visit to the city.

I'm interested in seeing how these things work as they could be a good solution for what they're trying to do, and it might help to nudge them towards a more open source approach if a good solution is there.

Something I'm working on at the moment is an augmented reality android/iOS app for the site and was hoping to tie video in to this in an innovative way. Be interesting to see how the two could work together and if it is possible to achieve any level of anonymity through it (like remote AR).

On a vaguely related note: Was thinking of suggesting I do a workshop for BarnCamp on Apache Cordova and rolling out mobile apps based around web technologies (html5, css, JavaScript) in a really simple and fast way. Any thoughts?

Hello again,

So, a friend of mine has recently mentioned that he has a few cerevo live shells (http://static-shell.cerevo.com/first/en/spec.html) which he would love to see used for cool stuff.

I mentioned this to the Reel News folks, and everyone got rather excited, the G8 was mentioned.

We have a number of people who'd be happy to do the filming part, but would need help with the technical set up, streaming server etc.

I'd love to set something up which would allow us to mix streams from several street cameras live, maybe play in some stock footage as well.

Anyone interested in bouncing around some ideas on this?

Mara
