In a video conference, ooVoo partitions the window based on how many participants are present. In the default view with two people, the video streams appear as adjacent rectangles. With three people present, the right and left streams are angled in a gratuitous 3D effect. As an alternative, any single stream can be designated to fill the window, with the remaining streams delegated into a single corner. | In a video conference, ooVoo partitions the window based on how many participants are present.

Weimar found a way to stream a video file in place of the webcam image, and generated a series of stroboscopic videos displaying a burst of white between lulls of blackness. When darkness fell in San Diego, Weimar began broadcasting. With each flash, Weimar uttered the German word for light, "licht."

"Light!" | Weimar found a way to stream a video file in place of the webcam image, and generated a series of stroboscopic videos displaying a burst of white between lulls of blackness.

With microphone gains and speakers set to maximum, an unsteady but hypnotic mantra emerged. The whole process was recorded by Weimar, who was witness to all three streams. Playback provided clear documentation of the timing discrepancies of audio and video between the three locations. | With microphone gains and speakers set to maximum, an unsteady but hypnotic mantra emerged. The whole process was recorded by Weimar, who was witness to all three streams. Playback provided clear documentation of the timing discrepancies of audio and video between the three locations. Unable to resist the cycle of feedback, Weimar again recorded the viewing of this recording. We present the result here. | ||
