The "co-opticon" is a robotic pan, tilt, and zoom streaming video camera controlled by simultaneous frame requests from remote users. Robotic webcameras are commercially available but currently restrict control to only one user at a time. The co-opticon introduces a new interface that allows simultaneous control by many users. We will demonstrate the implemented system using a Java-based interface at the conference linked via the Internet to a camera on the UC Berkeley campus. We will also discuss system architecture and several new algorithms we've developed to compute optimal camera paramters based on user frame requests. The co-opticon can be tested online at: www.tele-actor.net/co-opticon.
