A live, more interactive Rev3
Television and the Internet are on a collision course that will revolutionize entertainment, but Revision3 is always one step ahead of the game.
Today, they launched a new live video player that allows the user to be the director. That’s right, you can control which camera you want to watch. The first show to use this new player was Diggnation with Kevin Rose and Alex Albrect.
“Barrett Lyon, founder of BitGravity, sent me an IM with a link to a demo of their multi-angle simultaneous HD streaming viewing experience. I said that we should totally try it out with an episode of Diggnation,” said Rev3 co-founder David Prager.
You can even get a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the show. Prager said they hope to use this technology for all of their shows soon.
