Local Video Kiosk
I have a Raspberry Pi 2 B hooked up to a Microsoft Lifecam and an HDMI monitor, end goal is to display the Webcam on the Monitor in real-time. I used MJPG-Streamer to capture video, output to HTTP, and set omxplayer to view localhost and it works great, except it's about 3 seconds behind live. Is there any way I can shorten the gap so that it's as close to real-time as possible?

If you want to just view live, then guvcview or similar are the lightest weight apps for that. Anything that encodes, transmits, and decodes the data will add latency.
