Our lives are absorbed by the Internet – we work, we network, all by looking into a screen (no matter how big or small) that seems to consume more and more of our time. Look, you are even reading this write-up on the Internet right now.

Facebook Co-Broadcasting – First Experience The new split-screen feature in the Facebook Live is a very useful additional to the whole live streaming trend. While you are streaming, you are able to invite a guest who is viewing your broadcast to join in to our live stream. 

This obviously solved the issue of us having a two-way communication with a viewer or Read more →

Thoughts on Co-broadcasting:

An excellent way to solve the problem of viewer interaction. Our final project may include our friends on Facebook that we can interview or let them participate in our Broadcasting. It also solves the problem of non-synchronisation for cross-streaming.

Jennicam

Jennifer Ringley, an undergraduate from Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, started a broadcast of her daily activity on the internet called Jennicam, consisting of videos and images captured on several webcams that were placed in different parts of her dorm room in 1996.

In our first co-broadcasting we are trying the function of combing the both live streams. It was quite easy to use as we just need to invite the person and when they agree we can stream together.

The timing of both cross streaming was quite in sync when we can literally communication to each other. This provides us with the Read more →

Between the years of 1996 – 2003, Jennifer Ringley started a webcam online that uploaded a snapshot of her life in the dorm every 15 minutes. She gained fame through the use of internet broadcasting. During an interview on David Letterman’s show, she talked about how she was inspired by a couple of the existing web broadcasting sites such as Read more →

The Facebook co-broadcasting feature was a fun experience for me after weeks of working on different forms of broadcasting.

As an aspiring artist, I enjoy the idea of collaborative work because it brings together different perspectives and ideas.
