At the University Of Cambridge Computer Laboratory (now with added DigitalDesk - removes 100% of all bandwidth or your money back..). Now you too can watch the view from a random camera somewhere in Austin 416 :
(currently the view out of the window over King's College Chapel - last updated Wed Dec 13 09:42:08 GMT 1995). This used to be a whiteboard. But it got boring, so it isn't any more. We'll probably keep moving it around every few days (or when we haven't anything better to do), so check back in a week or so to see another part of the office or its surrounds.
.. and this is what the DigitalDesk camera was seeing on Thu Sep 28 10:57:36 BST 1995 :
You can see a full-size version of either of the images above by clicking on the images (though your browser must know how to view GIF images and they're about 300k each).
Use the reload button on your browser to load the latest set of images (please note that the image URLs themselves change every time the images are updated, so linking directly to the images won't work. There are technical reasons for this.)
These pictures are updated once every ten minutes provided the cameras are not being used by 'serious' software (the digidesk camera in particular suffers from this), in which case the image is updated after the camera is no longer in use.
There is a very obvious reason why you won't see anything between local sunset and local sunrise.
There's some technical information about how all this is done.
The software was hacked together from two Digidesk drivers, some shell scripts, and a couple of bits of string by Richard Watts.
