"Koozoo is a platform that crowd-sources live video from public places to create a continuously broadcasting network. Members of the community can post and watch user-generated video feeds from places ranging from cafes to world landmarks. Whether you want to assess the wait time for coffee or see a real-time view of the beach, Koozoo's goal is to make "live views of the world's public spaces easily accessible to one and all." "Koozoo will usher in a new era that reads like science fiction today," said Trevor Darrell, professor at UC Berkeley in a statement. "For example, within a few years I expect Koozoo to let you take a virtual walk down the street in Tokyo or Paris in 3D, live, as you sit comfortably at home in California.""
