This video shows streaming of a live Windows Desktop *into* SL, where it shows up on a prim.

I think the camera man needs a smack (or far less coffee) but it's otherwise pretty neat..

Capturing what's on your desktop isn't very new - see webex and such. From there, I think you piple that to some web server and, back in SL, put the url into the parcel media setting. Haven't seen it done before, though. Cool stuff.

The camera work is horrendous.

Anyway...I think you guys are being bamboozled. A clever slide-of-hand. Notice how the camera leaves the screen both times he 'makes the switch.'

He could pause the camera when it's in black, upload a screenshot of the desktop, place it on the wall in Second Life, ADR some audio straight through after, and BOOM...fooled.

You think?

You never know, I've seen a lot of things like this...

Na, it's real time. He's got two pcs.

One with SL and a media prim.

One running wirecast (http://varasoftware.com/products/wirecast/whatsnew.html) running desktop presenter.

The "black" is his bad camera work moving between the two...

EDIT: Btw, it's one-way. The media prim can't send data back to the 'presenter'. It's broadcast only.
