maybe we should have a two dimensional picture in a top view (I am thinking
of something similar to the picture that is already on our webpages) -
where you see colored light cones move. That means the web audience will
only see virtual actors.

second we need an extra window or screen for some text Zeus is typing - I
will publish the first draft of the episodes soon, so it will get clearer
what I mean: this screen will be needed in the real life stages as well to
visualize how Zeus influences the life of odysseus.

the third thing I can think of now is the map.
this will be needed at the RL stages as well. The idea of the map is to
visualize where the current station of odysseus is at this moment (where
the RL stage is and how far it is away from the other stages)

fourth: the video
maybe we will have a camera at every RL stage so that the web-audience can
choose which stage they want to see (and this will as well appear on a
screen somewhere at the other RL stages - maybe influenced by the web
audience???)

so the web audience can switch between different points of view: stage,
video of the RL audience, Zeus' screen and the map.
and it will hear the dialogs

than there will be the role of the cyberchor. I have to admit we didn't
discuss this to an end yet. But my idea of that is that the web audience
can "push some buttons" and than some sound (music??) will occur on the RL
stages.
I do not know yet if this is to complicated, but it would be perfect if
they could be somehow the companions of odysseus - which means that the
sound must get more and more quiet till total silence: odysseus loses all
of his companions on his way.
Well this has also have to be worked out in the script
(which is in the beginning of the fourth episode of 7 ...)

sunny greetings
