Transfer Image Data using Web Sockets
I am trying to send Image data captured with vizcapture using Web Sockets. I am not expert with computer networks or network protocols but done this work using Vizard Help, Help from World Viz Forum & HTML5 Tutorial from W3Schools. When I run the code and open HTML 5 supporting web browser, Google Chrome in my case with url http://localhost:8080/vizhtml/websocket for local host it runs fine for some time. Bellow is the code given:

Code:
import viz
import vizhtml
import vizact
import vizcapture

viz.setMultiSample(4)
viz.fov(60)
viz.go()

import vizinfo
info = vizinfo.add('This script demonstrates how to add multiple windows.\nThe upper right window is a rear view of the scene\nThe upper left window is a birds eye view')
info.translate([0.95,0.05])
info.alignment(vizinfo.LOWER_RIGHT)

#Add environment
viz.addChild('maze.osgb')

# Create a new window in the upper left corner
UpperLeftWindow = viz.addWindow(pos=(0,1.0),size=(0.2,0.2))
UpperLeftWindow.visible(0,viz.SCREEN)

#Create a new window in the upper right corner
UpperRightWindow = viz.addWindow(pos=(0.8,1.0),size=(0.2,0.2))
UpperRightWindow.visible(0,viz.SCREEN)

# Create a new viewpoint
BirdView = viz.addView()

#Attach the bird's eye view to the upper left window
UpperLeftWindow.setView(BirdView)

#Move the view above the center of the room
BirdView.setPosition([0,25,0])

#Rotate the view so that it looks down
BirdView.setEuler([0,90,0])

#Create another viewpoint
RearView = viz.addView()

#Attach the rear view to the upper right window
UpperRightWindow.setView(RearView)

#Increase the field-of-view for both windows
UpperLeftWindow.fov(60)
UpperRightWindow.fov(60)

#Add an arrow marker to bird's eye view window to represent our current position/orientation
arrow = viz.addTexQuad(parent=viz.ORTHO,scene=UpperLeftWindow,size=20)
arrow.texture(viz.add('arrow.tif'))

vizact.ontimer(0,UpdateViews)

# Turn on collision detection so we can't go through walls
viz.collision(viz.ON)
This is the output which I get:


Now the issues are:
1. When I run this code for certain time it starts throwing errors
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\WorldViz\Vizard4\python\vizact.py", line 3606, in __ontimer
val = event.call()
File "C:\Program Files\WorldViz\Vizard4\python\vizact.py", line 3379, in _callStatic
return func(*args,**kwargs)
File "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\screenCapture\screenCapture. py", line 142, in SendImageData
iData.append(ord(data[800*3*5*(j-1)+3*5*(i-1)]))
IndexError: string index out of range
2. Here I am reducing the resolution from 800 x 600 to 160 x 120 but if I don't do that my for loop runs for 800 x 600 x 3 = 1440000 times for single update. That slows down the performance of the system.

Please help me resolving these two issues.
Thanks!

Solved first issue of my own
I have solved first issue of my own. That error was because Vizard free version changes its resolution after 20 Seconds. I have made the code dynamic.

Code:
import viz
import vizhtml
import vizact
import vizcapture

viz.setMultiSample(4)
viz.fov(60)
viz.go()

import vizinfo
info = vizinfo.add('This script demonstrates how to add multiple windows.\nThe upper right window is a rear view of the scene\nThe upper left window is a birds eye view')
info.translate([0.95,0.05])
info.alignment(vizinfo.LOWER_RIGHT)

#resolution of Web Page Image
w = 160
h = 120

#Add environment
viz.addChild('maze.osgb')

# Create a new window in the upper left corner
UpperLeftWindow = viz.addWindow(pos=(0,1.0),size=(0.2,0.2))
UpperLeftWindow.visible(0,viz.SCREEN)

#Create a new window in the upper right corner
UpperRightWindow = viz.addWindow(pos=(0.8,1.0),size=(0.2,0.2))
UpperRightWindow.visible(0,viz.SCREEN)

# Create a new viewpoint
BirdView = viz.addView()

#Attach the bird's eye view to the upper left window
UpperLeftWindow.setView(BirdView)

#Move the view above the center of the room
BirdView.setPosition([0,25,0])

#Rotate the view so that it looks down
BirdView.setEuler([0,90,0])

#Create another viewpoint
RearView = viz.addView()

#Attach the rear view to the upper right window
UpperRightWindow.setView(RearView)

#Increase the field-of-view for both windows
UpperLeftWindow.fov(60)
UpperRightWindow.fov(60)

#Add an arrow marker to bird's eye view window to represent our current position/orientation
arrow = viz.addTexQuad(parent=viz.ORTHO,scene=UpperLeftWindow,size=20)
arrow.texture(viz.add('arrow.tif'))

Here is a sample script that will capture the screen to a texture over a specified time interval and send a downsized version of the image to all the connected websocket clients. The image is downsized and compressed to PNG in a separate thread, so it should not slow down the main graphics thread too much, depending on the size of your window. If you need to reduce the network traffic, you could try compressing to JPG instead.
Code:
import viz
import vizhtml
import viztask
import base64
import Image
import StringIO
viz.go()

viz.add('maze.osgb')

code = """
