<P align=center><FONT size=1>View of London rooftops /

<P align=center><FONT size=1>Composite images from 4-5 webcams inside
home, office and outside refresh automatically every few seconds most of
the day and night. Some ISPs only allow new images every few
minutes. Recent images - see below.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=2>Live free webcams are a vital part of
cyberworld, the equivalent of walking down the street and looking through
a window or watching people at leisure / work. My London
<B>"cyber-bubble"</B> is a radio and TV studio broadcasting on BBC Radio
and Now TV / <A href="videoconfdemo.html">videoconference suite</A> /
virtual reality environment. I give interviews about the future most
weeks on Now TV, transmitted across Asia, including Hong Kong, Malaysia
and India using just the net to send video to the satellite TV company,
and a phone headset for sound. Live webcams on this page also follow
the whole thing on the net. In fact you may be watching a live
personal web broadcast right now.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=2>The cyberbubble <I>can</I> function as an
office - but in a virtual world "office" is everywhere: in my pocket or
case - plane, train, car, hotel room, conference facility. Soon we
will have mobile webcams on every up-market mobile phone. The only reasons
left for conventional offices are to breath the same air as others you
work with or to use a purpose- built facility like this one. My two
megabits per second permanent BT Openworld ADSL connection is up to
40 times faster than an ordinary phone modem yet uses the same old pair of
copper wires. The net then goes wireless on an encrypted ethernet
throughout the house and garden so everyone in the family everywhere can
use it.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=2>Being online all the time with no time-based
charges means a total communication revolution. A live personal
webcam is just a tiny part of that. Phone calls via the web, two way
true video streaming and sound across 12,000 miles 24 hours a day - all
for zero added costs. You can call via the web for free from the UK
to ordinary phones in the US.... and this is just the first day of the
digital age. Expect the same for Canada, Japan, Germany, France,
Italy, China, Australia etc. Sites like <A
href="http://www.popster,com">Popster.com</A> promise free webcam live
broadcasts of video / sound to up to 20 people at a time 24 hours a
day. The software is also free and uses Windows MediaPlayer
7.0.</FONT></P>

<P align=left><FONT size=2>The cyber-bubble is also heavily used by others
- for widescreen digital movies / TV with surround sound. The
two webcam views immediately above are front and back in the same physical
space. Bookmark this webcam page and use it when we next talk on the
phone.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=2>The cyberbubble uses chroma-key technology
which means that whatever is behind me disappears and is replaced by - for
example - a huge computer screen, or a virtual view from Manhattan, or the
City of London. Weather forecasters use the same technology on TV,
standing in front of a blue screen. Nothing is what it appears to be in a
virtual world.</FONT></P>
