From YouTube: Large Scale Video Collaboration

Description

How to hack existing tools to create large-scale teleconferencing? Here are some ideas for the open source panopticon. Why? The goal is large-scale, open collaboration for design on solving pressing world issues. We're opening up various feeds at the Summer X and OSE Apprenticeship, so this is just a prototype test. Imagine dozens of feeds, and a control room platform where all content is visible and is engaging in real time.

To use individual windows say of jitsi, and I imagine you had to try to show the possibilities of what happens when you have multiple feeds. I have two feeds one from the the camera up here, um this camera right there that's on my laptop, triple monitor and then I have another camera over there.

A

That's an iphone uh recycled, iphone just running jitsumi, so I've got three jitsi meet windows that are being captured right now and the idea is here: how do you get interesting collaboration happening through multiple feeds, multiple channels, the cool thing here is that I'm actually using individual jitsi windows and it looks like already like uh something fancy. The idea here is that just two feeds and multiple jitsi windows, so each one of these is uh so I've got a jitsi window here, uh jitsi window here.

A

If I close, if I shut down, what did I shut down? I don't know what I shut down there, I'm going to go back to meet that dot c, slash open source guys. So I got myself again um it's an interesting way to explore how you can feed multiple streams through a simple interface.

A

So here just by using multiple windows of jitsi, we can get that and imagine now taking each one of these windows uh so take uh take each one of these windows that we're on here and embedding them in a separate window say just on the wiki. So, let's you know, let's take a look at, for example, the wiki um there's a page flashy.

A

X, um so imagine so it's an example. Imagine you've got a bunch of windows embedded in a wiki and each one of them has a separate jetsea meet feed so, for example, put put a jitsi meat feed into this one window. Now you can have multiple people feeding into this, for example this one one meeting, uh so it would be like say, open source, ecology, room and then another room say workshop, uh and that could be a different feed.

A

So you can have you can embed just a large number of feeds into a manageable platform. So imagine a bunch of people collaborating you're, trying to see what everyone is doing and you can actually view that real time within a wiki. So how will we do that? um Let's see, let's see if I can edit this real time to give me an iframe um of what I have to see if I can actually view the progress here in real time.

A

So can I, for example, embed a jitsi meeting so that in a wiki page which looks static, you actually have active, live feed of video. Let's see if that's possible, um let me edit that, um let's see, let's see if I can find the youtube feed.

A

um No, I don't know how to do that technically right now in terms of embedding that um sam and his platform here, but ideally we would just have a simple well how about an iframe, simple iframe.

A

Let's look at an iframe template so say I pick the.

A

Jutsu me url go to an example.

A

Let's see, here's an.

A

Example,.

A

Oh interesting, so what happens when I join the meeting? Oh look at that. So if I embed that okay, I see myself moving there right. Okay. So if we do embed that what we just showed here is that say on a page like like this page here you have uh some kind of wiki page with a bunch of windows that are iframes or this.

A

This isn't just html css, but imagine feeding us a separate feed into each one of these windows, which would make for like hacked right away within the wiki, an immediate platform for displaying what everybody is doing. So imagine you know that you got cad design in one. That's actually a real active um online uh live feed like uh like a stream and a bunch of these streams all over the place. So I think that could work and I guess we have to test the limits of how much bandwidth is needed for that.

A

But if it's say say it's, you know 20 meg per channel. If you've got to get one gig line, you can have 50 such windows. Imagine like 50 people collaborating and you see fully what everybody's doing or it could be also feeds from the workshop or outside in real action to see. What's going on, so just exploring possibilities of how we can do remote collaboration and participation as we scale the development methods to many many more people. So that's just some ideas. There.
