The Degrees of Freedom Project is still in the early Alpha stage. It is possible, but extremely difficult, to find links to the currently posted videos on YouTube. To make the process easier while we are in the development process, the list of videos that have been posted on YouTube will be maintained at this link. The link will be removed or modified once the full set of videos is available.
