Video Instrumented Objects bridges the gap between real objects and interactive media. We create a streaming track akin to an additional audio track that coordinates action in an image sequence with controls for objects at the viewing point. For example, one could start or stop a blender under the contol of a cooking program. The track is a functional language with full scriptinng ability and is bi-directional so that events at the receiving point can automatically alter an image sequence stream.
