Knowing that it'd only take a short time, I modified the SharedImageViewer to
watch a given directory for new files and share them in the application
session. This is a step closer to what you'd want, but it still has some simple
problems.
- Sometimes it uploads the files in the directory initially, but not always
- The images stretch to the window size
- It only loads the image thumbnails as they come in, not the whole image,
leaving selection up to the users.
These are easy to fix. Let me know if you try it out. I overwrote the zip file
at the original URL:

Hi Thomas:
Thank you for your quick reply.
Thomas my goal is share images of live malaria parasites.
I would like these images to be as high resolution as possible as
the parasites are micrometers in size and right at the edge of what you
can see using light microscopy. So while both vpcscreen and
ScreenStreamer are great, I really want to share the images in all
their high resolution beauty. So what do I have to do to your
SharedImageViewer to let interested viewers see the images as
they come off of the camera?
regards,

A couple options that you might consider are:
http://www.memetic-vre.net/software/ScreenStreamer
http://accessgrid.org/project/vpcscreen
Either of these are probably good options, though you said you didn't
want a streaming solution.
Sometime back I wrote a simple SharedImageViewer demo application in
Python that allows users to select local images to share with collaborators.

If this is more of what you have in mind, it could easily be extended to
meet your needs. I'd be willing to discuss that further with you.
