That Old Barbershop Mirror Effect in Second Life by cogdogblog.
Like mirrors in an opposite walls of a barbershop, in Second Life I am almost infinitely reflected.

I'm testing video streaming form one part of SL to another, so in effect streaming the view from my SL app out to a streaming server, and that stream can be attached to another region.

My experiment is using Wirecast a slick app that allows you to composite and mix video sources into a stream (and is easier to use than QuickTime Broadcaster). My video source is actually the window you see- and the stream is attached to the screen in SL my avatar is gazing at, where the dog sees a video stream of a dog looking at a screen with an image of a dog starting at a screen... oi, recursion makes my head hurt.

If this tests, the nice thing is I can do it all on one machine, rather than using a video converter box to route the signal from one PC into my Mac and then broadcast out to the streaming server.
