Hi,

I am curious about starting a project and would like to know if such a thing would be possible in processing.  I'm just starting my research on the idea so forgive me if it's been discussed before.  The idea is that I have a large video database that have different possible visualizations.  Each visualization of a single video could be like another layer to add on top of a video.  I'm curious if a web application could access all the video's on a single server and  display in real-time any of the video layers on-top of the original video to anyone on the web?  Or for starters just on a local network?

I could see how it could work on a client accessing all the information on their own machine, but how could it work on the web without the need for downloading everything?  I.e. stream everything as it processes the data?  Is there anything like this currently on the web?  Would I have to implement some type of media streaming server?  And would I have access to frame based data?

Thanks so much!
