would it be possible to transmit sensor data (i.e. accelerometer) using wi-fi and at the same time use the wi-fi to receive video from blackfin camera (from ERP proj here at SOC). The device is a head mounted display with motion control for the camera on-board the bot. If it's possible what device/s do I need?

anyone? ???

It is possible but I and apparently no one else knows exactly how to do it.
I have seen Core processor boards with an ARM9 and a WiFi module that could be used.

Its very possible, but just very slow. Commercial wifi cameras still arent fast enough to reliably be released to the public (of course you can get them if you really want but you pay a lot of money for something that doesnt perform like you would expect).
You just need a camera module, take the blackfin for instance. connect to a microcontroller like the axon. the axon would read the sensors and the video data. use a suitable wifi type thing. send the sensor data via wifi, then send an image from the camera, then repeat. maybe some leading code so the receiver knows it is receigving sernsor or camera data and youre away.

The SRV-1 Blackfin camera also has GPIO, I2C and SPI interfaces, including direct support for AD7998 8-channel A/D, HMC compasses and LIS3LV02DQ tilt sensors, so you can query for video (JPEG images) and sensor data via Wifi.
