Does anyone believe that this is done algorithmically? All the examples I checked seemed to be really poorly sync-ed, & as a DSP engineer I don't believe this task to be incredibly difficult...

would also be cooler to have a seating chart to click around to make sense of perspectives

It's all algorithmic but the flash player only seeks to the nearest key frame (every 2s) so that's why it isn't flawless. This can be overcome ... but I'd prefer to work on the seating chart thing - thanks!

Ah, didn't realize the flash / keyframe limitation. Best of luck! very cool idea.

seating chart is a good idea, or at least direction of the camera.
