In this paper we present how the system accounts for the very heterogeneous demands in the domain of lecture capture at universities. An API for the JavaScript programming language gives the adopter the freedom to formulate their own camera steering strategy. A graphical programming environment, based on the Open Roberta project, further eases the development of the steering logic. The accomplishments of the LectureSight project should serve as an example on how integrated measure and control systems can be made highly customizable and give the adopter the power to fully exploit the range of possibilities a technology provides.en005conference paper
