TimeCam.TV is Instant realtime timelapse for your webcam
Our new online service TimeCam.tv
allows you to turn any online camera into a time-lapse camera
in minutes. All you have to do is register your camera with
us and embed the flash time-lapse movie player in your web
page. We do the rest. Its that simple.
Our servers will save every image your camera
takes (up to once per minute), assembling them into a live, up-to-date time-lapse
movie of whatever playback interval you choose -- hour, day,
week, month or year.

9-Camera Wild Mouse Surveillance System
|
|
The Dearing
Lab at the University of Utah studies the disease dynamics
of Sin Nombre Hantavirus (info).
The primary host of this disease is the deer mouse (Peromyscus
maniculatus). Although Hantavirus infection in
humans is rare, infection often leads to death. Little is
known about what drives outbreaks of Hantavirus in
humans. Infection rates in mice seem to be tied, among other
things, to contact-rates between individuals.
To study this disease, the Dearing lab has been tagging mice
in the field with RFID
("PIT") tags to track interactions between individuals.
However, this effort had been challenged by the fact that
the PIT-tag data was low resolution both spatially and temporally.

|
TimeScience built the Dearing lab a 9-camera mouse surveillance
system to collect video at the seed trays on all of their
PIT-tag readers in the field. The recording system enables
them to record 4 frames per second on 9 cameras over multiple
days at their desert research site in central Utah. The TimeScience
data visualization system lets them sync the PIT-tag data
with the video data to provide a clear visual map of animal
interactions, infections status and mouse movements over multiple
nights and across all 9 readers.

Building a World Cup ski course;
Live from Deer Valley Ski Area, Utah |
|
Ever wondered how they build the mogul courses and aerials
jumps for ski competitions? We did too. Turns out the whole
process takes over a week as the jumps are built and every
mogul is dug out by hand. During the week-long preparation
for the World Cup event in 2006 we streamed live high-resolution
images from the slopes, updated every minute and movies of
the whole week updated every half hour.
The video is a zoomed portion of the original 3 megapixel
images, shot from over 1./4 mile away.

Salt Lake City 2-year time-lapse
and weather camera - University of Utah
|
|
Since January, 2006, TimeScience has had a high resolution
network camera installed on a building at the University of
Utah takes. The camera takes a 5 megapixel image every 30
seconds.
All images are saved - more than 2 million so far. Long term
time-lapses such as this provide an essential tool for researchers
interested in studying weather and climate processes.
Current Time-lapse videos are available on our Project Page and on our sister site,
TimeCam.tv.

Mouse mate-choice - University of
Utah, Dept. of Biology
|
|
The Potts
lab at the University of Utah is using TimeScience's recorder
and playback software to record and process video of multi-day
mate-choice experiments in semi-wild populations of mice.
This type of experiment has rarely been attempted before due
to time and technology constraints. Our software/hardware
is allowing the lab to track mouse behavior by video for multiple
days, without the need for observers to be present during
the trials. Once recorded, a days worth of video could be
processed in a few hours, saving the lab hundreds of hours
of research time.

Living
Planet Aquarium - Time-lapse videos & Sea-Star TimeWindow(TM)
|
|
Great Salt Lake Water Cycle Video Exhibit
When Utah's Living Planet Aquarium needed an innovative way
to teach visitors about the The Great Salt Lake, they turned
to TimeScience. TimeScience provided multi-month time-lapse
recordings of the Great Salt Lake to highlight the water cycle
as well as video editing services for a simulated boat cruise
educating visitors about the Great Salt Lake.
|
|
Sea-Star TimeWindow
TimeScience provided the Living Planet Aquarium with a temporary
TimeWindow(TM) installation to showcase their sea-star tank.
A TimeScience camera recorded sea-star activity at 5 frames
per second. With the TimeWindow installation, visitors could
view Sea-Star activity at accelerated speeds, allowing them
to better understand the dynamic behavior of these fascinating
creatures.
