The doll is controlled by a PC. The computer is custom programmed to automatically dial up an internet service provider, make a connection with Lynn's Web server, and continuously send video frames to it. The doll's computer responds to motion commands sent to it by the Web server. The Web server has a custom CGI- programme. One script updates the video push with new frames. Another script takes the visitor's button presses and sends motion commands to the doll computer.
