They're having various teething troubles (mainly, I think, due to the power requirements of their entirely wireless rig) but when they've been up it's been entertaining. It's the main presenter's first time at GenCon and it's been fun watching her reaction to everything!
Her repeated "I want everthing!" is very authentic. It's run by the team behind NeonCon in Vegas who seem to be tied into various tech and training networks as well as gaming which makes for some interesting crossovers.

The team are twittering @neoncon (Doug, producer) and @D10again (Jules, presenter).

I think that to a degree this is all a field test of the technology. A couple of years ago, podcasting and Twitter hit GenCon in a big way and are now maturing into good ways the Con (and the companies marketing things there) can reach a wider audience. Expanding that into video is likely to make a big difference in the future. I can think of a lot of ways that an instant-broadcast technology could be very useful (even if 'just' to broadcast the Ennies, big company seminars, etc).
 

One of the fails for her, was when she was getting her pic taking with the Sailor Moon Cosplay people, she stopped a passing gamer "ED" to take the pic. It was Ed Greenwood and she did not realize it! :lol:

It looks like the battery for the camera only lasts for an hour or so. The feed stopped in the middle of an interview yesterday. :(
