This is a street view of Bradley University Construction Zone and adjacent block of Glenwood Avenue from the third floor of Jobst Building. It is transmitted live 24/7 from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department from Dr. Malinowski's office window. This Web page is a small spin off project derived from the technology used in a few of recent senior capstone projects in our department, especially remote-controlled robots.

You can switch to rapid update mode by "dragging" your mouse over the image. The status bar was added after encountering network cache management problems in Java2 release 6 - now corrected.
