Mechanical Gaze

Mechanical Gaze was one of the first few internet based online telerobotic www sites (pre-dating even the existence of Netscape).  It allows remote users to access a collection of museum exhibits.  Users can control the camera viewpoint to facilitate views that they want of objects.  It also allows for running comments on each exhibit and live video of the robot in motion.
