Laptop "Dashboard"

I've seen some teams using a laptop to display useful information about the robot, like the live camera feed and such. I think that our team is going to try and code something like this for IRI and next year's competition, but how would one go about doing this? We use Windriver for our robot.

Would you have to code the computer program in Visual Basic? Or what language? And how exactly would your program the robot to send data to it, and the computer program to receive the data?

Thanks for any help.
