Jason's Fishcam has gone Interactive!

Today is a big day in the history of my aquarium webcam, as I'm happy to announce that viewers can finally interact with my fish! Check out fish cam #2... under the little preview image there are links that, when clicked, allow you to move the camera position and control the gator. (Don't everyone click it at once now, haha, I'm not sure if my server can handle the load.) The alligator is in the right-hand view, so you may need to click "Right" before you play with the gator. I don't think my fish like the new "robo-gator" because they all seem to be congregating on the opposite side of the tank.
I'll be improving the interface as soon as learn more about javascript. A hyperlink is about all I'm capable of at the moment. Anyway, have fun playing with my fishcam!

  • Wow! The Gator head is very fast!
    Isn't that dangerous for the fishes?

  • This is wonderful! I found your cam searching for fishcams to watch (I miss the little guys when I'm at work.) The interactive bit is a nice touch.

  • The reflection of your TV in the tank glass gave me a start at first:

  • Hi Jason,
    I love your fishcam. I build interactive exhibits for the Exploratorium in San Francisco and show your fishcam to other exhibit developers. Would you mind sending information on how to operate something like your alligator through a website?
    Thanks!
