I stumbled on this site for a maker of very expensive watches, and thought that this was just a standard flash thing where you can spin around and look at a watch, but it turns out you can actually remotely control a live camera looking at a real watch.
Only 1 person can control it at a time so you have to wait a bit to take control, but has anyone ever seen anything like this before? I had no idea it's even possible, or how you would make something like this work.

I would speculate its a combination of flash and Ardunio http://www.arduino.cc/playground…

^ So basically I guess they have a computer hooked up to a camera on some sort of device, and you can move this camera along this device remotely. Pretty cool.

Yes. Lot's of Ski Resorts usually have this functionality. Gives a couple minutes to pan, zoom, etc. I have also see it at hotels. Pretty cool stuff.
- It is cool, I have to wait 6 more minutes to take control.CygnusZero4
- Next step is somehow remotely stealing this watch.CygnusZero4

Can be easy to accomplish with crestron programming. We have an ipad interface that controls all our PTZ cameras as well as full manual adjustments.

Just got done controlling it. First of all, good lord is that a sexy watch. Wish I had 20g's for it. Also, that is VERY cool controlling that camera!

go low-tech and have someone actually holding the camera. seems kind of pointless though? or is it the novelty of it not being a 3d model? i'll have to try it, i guess.
here's live video/human control: http://livetour.mas.be/uk/
- The novelty is getting to see the actual watch, not a 3D model of it.CygnusZero4
- yup. just as i thought.pizzafire
