This script provides a basic framework for working with streaming video data in a relatively fast loop. It uses basic functionality from the video acquisition toolbox, specifically the peekdata() function. A timer is provided to estimate loop frequency.
NOTE: This script does not work well in R2014b due to changes to the graphics system. I'm working on this issue...
