Tech question for telepresence

A few solutions come to mind.

If you're on a mac you could use "Broadcaster" to stream live video
direct to your web page. You'd need to embed a video file. I've done
this and it works well with a DV feed.
<http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/broadcaster/>

If you can program, and you really want to do it via a java applet, you
could probably integrate the Broadcaster feed into a Java applet via
QuickTime for Java.

If you want to use a Java applet and frame rate isn't as important to
you, you could use any number of webcam applications. I've used EvoCam
on Macs <http://www.evological.com/> and Webcam32 on PCs
<http://www.surveyor.com/products/webcam32.html> using DV with a frame
rate of 1fps.

HTH,
Jack
