during an homecoming celebration show featuring the J.
Geils Jazz Quartet at the U.S.
Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y. The JVC-sponsored

Be Here's patented iVideo technology provides viewers
with a personalized and interactive "be here" experience.
With iVideo, concert fans will have control of the entire
360-degree scene and can watch the J. Geils Jazz Quartet
perform, view the audience response to favorite songs
from the band's point of view, and see who's watching
from back stage. The webcast also featured conventional
streaming video using JVC professional digital video cameras.
The event offered interactive chat
and e-mail
