This video shows an AIR desktop app that is connected (peer-to-peer) with an AIR for mobile app running on 4 different devices.

The mobile apps stream video back to the desktop application and the desktop app can be used to send messages to the camera operators.

The devices tested all handle capturing and streaming 640x480 video at 15 fps. The wifi network is having a little trouble keeping up with 4 streams but works well with fewer streams (or when I'm alone on the network).

On Wednesday, Microsoft released additional information about their upcoming SDK for the Kinect. However, if you don't want to wait for that release, there are some great alternatives available already.

To better understand the potential Kinect holds for retail and other installation work at Odopod, I've been exploring different ways to integrate Kinect into Adobe Air applications. We're using Air because it allows us to quickly build prototypes and explore this exciting new technology.
