It features spherical images of a total solar eclipse and other phenomena provided by a 4K projector streaming over a 10-gigabit network from a remote dome environment in Osaka.
In Live Microscope Streaming from USC School of Cinematic Arts, live high-definition images of common pond-water micro-organisms and the surfaces of some common objects are streamed from a RED One camera interfaced to an optical microscope at the University Of Southern California School Of Cinematic Arts in Los Angeles.
