Hands Free 3D: Second Life Navigation Demo

http://www.handsfree3d.comWe'v... done some experiments over here at Kapor Enterprises using 3D cameras to control virtual worlds like Second Life.Mitch Kapor and Philippe Bossut designed a prototypical interface that demonstrates the possibilities for operating Second Life "hands free" without a mouse or keyboard. To make this work, they modified the open source Second Life client to support the camera as an input device.This new prototype was made possible through the use of a 3D Camera designed by 3DV Systems. The camera is very similar to a webcam, but also captures the depth of all the objects in its view. Our prototype is still very experimental: we haven't made the code or executable available and the cameras aren't available yet anyway.For the moment, our objective is to explore the possibilities for these new types of devices. We believe that these cameras will eventually make interacting with Virtual Worlds as comfortable as using a webcam. This will ultimately broaden the appeal of Virtual Worlds by allowing new ways of online expression. It may also attract people who find the current gaming interface too hard to handle.Produced by KEI Creative: Eric WongSean AquinoTrevor ParhamMusic track,'Identity of Self' byhisboyelroy

Well it just dont depends on the tecnology how it looks thats just a bad made Avatar, there are much more who really looks realistic and more well made. You skills to change and modify your Avatar are important.

All this technology and look at your skin, and clothes. I mean you make a good thing look bad with this look and feel. What were you thinking?

SORRY FOR SPAM PLZ DONT READ!!!A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand

I wonder if the 3D camera reflects erections on avatar or that wasn't taken into account due to second-life user's sex life
