Please excuse my ignorance, but how does one do this?

I don't actually use a screen saver. I put the link on full screen while eating breakfast, and that's when I made the comment. Therefore, I haven't tested any of the following methods, but here are Windows and Mac OS X options…

For Windows, this discussion:

Set windows screen saver as ISS Live Stream - Operating Systems and Software - Linus Tech Tips

recommends using this pop-out link:

Live_ISS_Stream on USTREAM: Live video from the International Space Station includes internal views when the crew is on-duty and Earth views at other times...

via this DonationWare:

HTML Screensaver, Universal ScreenSaver, Web Screen Saver

issuing the following word of caution:

Just an FYI, this does use massive amounts of data if left on for a long time. Left it running overnight, and used over 300gb. Luckily my IPS does not limit usage...

Here are two links to pages with Mac OS X options:

Apparently, if you can find a copy of Websaver for Mac, that will also work. It has not been supported since 2010.

Tangible Media

MIT’s Tangible Media is coming along nicely,

"Almost like a table of living clay, the inFORM is a surface that three-dimensionally changes shape, allowing users to not only interact with digital content in meatspace, but even hold hands with a person hundreds of miles away. And that’s only the beginning."
