the window has nothing to do with either the video grabbing nor the
video analysis.
you can grab video, run [pix_blob] on it and still only see a teapot :-)

anyhow: pix_blob will only ever work on single pixes ("frames").
if you want to use 2 cameras (e.g. to enlargen the viewing angle), you
basically have 2 possibilities:
- merge the two video streams into one, by using whatever compositing
techniques you are easy with. a simple one would be to display both
pixes (probably in a not-displayed [gemframebuffer]), and use [pix_snap]
to grab the composited image). then run whatever analysis you want on
the new big pix.

- do analysis on each stream and then merge the results
