Not at all creepy, Vienna!

Cameras riding on wires over the Life Ball (HIV AIDS fundraiser and the final Ball of Vienna's famous Ball Season every year):





That steepled building in the background is the Rathaus, or old city hall, across the street from my apartment. That camera thing I photographed was going back and forth on those cables, and creepily enough its lens only started following me once I pointed my tablet at it.

Could you hear the lens moving? I'm trying to imagine someone not seeing it and then suddenly hearing it, only to look up and see that thing hovering there. Yikes! Can't decide if it looks more like a bug or a very creepy person. Flat Stanley got a new job!

We worked on prototypes of this when I was in games & testing in the Marines, but we never got it to work. The march of progress continues.
