high bandwidth/zero latency

As promised some further concepts which would require high bandwidth/zero latency. 


1. Bed room band rehearsal. 
ZLIB give you the chance to build a Jam station transmitting multiple streams of audio in real time to friends. Commercially you could see a website where you join up and then either form a band (remote band) or just jam with people. 
Good for kids in remote locations. 

2. Reconfiguring space. 
This emerged at session but is still good is the notion of the aways on video link. 

3. 3D Video - high bandwidth stereo transmission 

4. Steer your self drama. 
Audio streams mixed with 'virtual puppets' allowing the creation of steer your self drama. This is an extension of the Second life Theatre companies but with audio. The virtual puppets would be about creating 'expressive' avatars - mostly an HCI element. The idea is that the audience become tiny birds, able to move around the space watch the drama from any angle, but give some emotional response back to the actors ( like live theater). 

5. Second life with Audio -  

6. Good citizen open access. 
Most people close off their wireless. With ZLIB you don't loose anything by sharing. But people close off access for other reasons. I am thinking ZLIB might generate a citizen version of EDU-ROAM. So you run it locally and then if someone wants to access the internet they use this account. There might be some common practice regulations ( no porn , no bandwidth hogging), if you break them then your machine ( the MAC address ) get's banded along with your userID from all machines on the network. 

8. Robot remoteing. 
   ZLIB Allows you to run wifi so you can control a remote robot in real time. So attend a conference but remotely. 

9. Home surveillance - variant of reconfigured space - you get security to watch the outside of your house via the internet.
