  • KINNECT XBOX SLIM -s

  • i wonder how you have sex in SL with this ...O.O

  • YAY NOW YOU CAN KICK SOME BODY FACE OR HIS BALLZ OR ASS THAT COOL RIGHT?

  • How u buy this

  • maybe if the company invested in better servers second life would be more successful?

  • how is this different from using the wii mote to navigate SL? its optical yes. but with a wiimote you can be closer to your monitor. also you can map out the wiimote to your likings.

  • Wow controlling secondlife without a controller this is pritty CRAP, how the heck do you build without a mouse and keyboard.

  • Don't look this project has been updated for a couple of year. Would be nice if they updated the project using the MS Kinect.

  • This was around years before Kinect ... if anyone copied its Microsoft SHOCKER !

  • @richwhite Have you ever heard of Eyetoy for the PS2? lol Sony had it before Microsoft did.

  • @CoNiGMa ---- egggggactly ;) ... LOL

  • copy to kinect-microsoft

  • Since the last blog post on your website was in 2008, I'm going to guess that this project is pretty much dead in the water.

  • This is very interesting, but what if the user is physically handicapped? I've met avatars who are wheelchair-bound, and have told me that SL gives them a new sense of freedom.

  • Took me like 4 weeks but i got another second life video up! Go me!

  • Uhmmm....question-if I wanna use the Cenod Life,do I have 2 pay 4 it?Or I can play it 4 free?Please,help me.

  • Uhmmm....question-if I wanna use the Second Life,do I have 2 pay 4 it?I mean,can U play it 4 free?

  • this kicks ass

  • interesting

  • Hello Natal.

  • future tech need this system SL good job

  • i would love to use wiimote and nuncuck or whatever is called with SL :)

  • i would like to use wasd and actully walk around like in a 3rd person game

  • HELP WITH SECOND LIFE

    Help please. I am trying to create an second life account but each time I have filled out all the form and push create account nothing happens. I just have to fill out the form again. PLEAS HELP ME

  • if it was real good virtual reality this would be good but for sl . i perfer sitting

  • Second Life would be more succesful if the graphics where more realistic... That kind of visual appearance looks like a 1995 3D Game...

  • there was no 3d games back in 1995!!

  • Oh, yes, there was, but they where very bad...

    Fade to Black (1995), Delphine Software International

    BioForge (1995), Origin Systems

    Lemmings 3D (1995), Clockwork Games / Psygnosis

    All right, Second Life graphics are better than these games, but only because of opengl and higher screen resolutions...

    I mean: can second life development team get closer to the visuals of CS Source or Modern Warefare 2?

    That should bring looooots of people to the application...

  • The current sec life graphics takes some time to load so what will happen with more advanced graphics!

  • Esc -> Options -> Graphics -> Quality

    /Performance

    You know your computer performance, you set the best configuration for your machine.

    Customizable environment settings for heterogenea public. That concept is really old in PC Games...

    But that "takes some time to load" is true... Unfortunately...

  • I have a 1 gig Graphic card and pretty fast PC.

    but what is heterogenea?

  • I don't know if I spelled it right in you language, but it means 'different'.

    When you have plenty of users, each on with a different kind of hardware.

  • i agree i mean mw2 fucking runs on a laptop

  • and is so bad coded that is so slooow even with good video cards!

  • @tempranight um thats the prototype meanin just to show the movement. there not focusing in the animation on this demo, look at the other demos

  • @tempranight

    well, it also depends on what your avatar looks liek, and where you hang out.

    I have a faily realistic male and female av, and i hang out to politcally correct places, where the architecture is builtto order, but i can agree that other things can be improved on.

  • @tempranight nah the graphics have recently gotten better, you just need a good graphics card processor and connection. lol

  • @tempranight check me out. johnnyb dembo. i look badass. not this noob shit

  • @tempranight it does have better graphics you just need a good computer. you can set the graphics to a higher level. plus they get a bigger amount of players if regular people can play

  • @tempranight If you have a really good computer you can enable global illumination, shadows, depth of field, ambient oclusion plus the new meshes that are coming :D

  • nice flares. You guys are fucked up.

  • cool, by the way, sl has much better graphics than the video shows. Seem nice to move on sl using no hands :P

  • eurhgg. this means i have to stand up, ill stick to using a keyboard

  • lol me too

  • @LauraaRichT typical fat ass comment

  • @joker3tearsgto shut up faggot

  • I WANNA TRY THAT!!

  • hi Merov, great vid!. ill be seeing you at bug triage!

  • kinda stiff animation, but with better graphics I'm sure it'll look amazing in the future.

  • When do ppl usually get on SL. Lately I see no one on any island .

  • Who here wants some spicy nuts in their mouth? Moist and delicious. Full of vitamin K and D. I want you to have my moist nuts (a family tradition).

  • how can i punch people in second life

  • why do they`re secondlife look so bad. it doesnt look like that there. people look more real. and the environment are just solid colors. shit has texture. that looks like shit.

  • I agree - for your next video, get someone who has been in SecondLife for a little while, that has an appealing avatar, with an appealing walk and fly animation override, dressed nicely. And somewhere with a little more interest in the background would also make this more eye catching. What about Chakryn Forest or Cathedral or any of the myriad fine builds in SL. All that being said, I'm intrigued by the idea of the 3d camera :)

  • haha why do??? i meant Why does. i couldnt remember what i said valerianromeo so i checked back and read my comment. looked like i was learning english or something. haha.

  • After 5 hours on second life I quit and stopped playing. Considering to really play it you need a super fast internet connection and an extremely powerful PC.

    It wasn't that great in graphics. If they used something like IMVU graphics it would look much better and would be way faster.

  • IMVU? no, secondlife isnt something u can size up in a couple hours. imvu is for children.

  • You can't make your own stuff in IMVU.

  • Definitely at the moment the 3-D mouse seems to be the best option however the potential of the idea may have very interesting applications for other products as well. Maybe for exercise programs or for people who find it difficult to use a keyboard? I think people need to think big picture. How about as a motion capture application? That would be a wothwhile direction for film makers etc or maybe an animation program. A much easier interface than at present

  • Natal is better and this is a copy of it. Microsoft rules over you opensource scumbags.

  • to sign up and solve logg in problems go second life page!! its great ..work it out! you dont need cred card to sign up, just email address. and certainly not a scam ..heh

    regarding this video, its been up for ages..whens this tech going to be released? if at all??

  • That's dreamworld right?

  • Cool!

  • Please do explain to me why second life says it's free yet wants credit card information? It's a scam.

  • it doesnt ask for credit card info to sign up. if you're a child, it asks for cell phone or paypal info to keep adults out for teenSL.

    for the regular SL you dont need it to sign up. SL money is based on real life money, you can sell stuff in the game, get SL money and exchange it for real life money, all you need is a paypal account for this.

  • Second Life is in fact free. I'm not sure why it's asking for a credit card (unless you are entering a "mature" region that requires age verification or trying to buy lindens). While playing the game is free there are many things in second life that cost money, they are not required though.

  • It is free, you don't need to buy anything or put in a credit card. However, in game money (called L$ or Lindens) can be purchased with real money using a credit card. There are thousands (Really, thousands) of free items you can get, from guns to bikes to pet dinosaurs, and you can make all of that yourself, too!

  • only thing flawed with this system is how u suppose to type?

  • OMG, gimme that tech! I love it! I would love to help test that as resident!

  • Arg. I really wanna play SL, but you have to pay when you are registering. Its frusterating. -_-

  • Sl Is Free and you dont need to pay or use a credit card. Try clicking the Skip button when it asks if you would like to be a paid resident.

  • It never asked me that. As I was registering,

    it asks "ID Method" after i put in my birthday. I put paypal down, since it

    doesnt let me get passed that page until I select that.

    Then, it says "Billing info." and its on the paypal sign in/register page.

    If I say, "Cancel", it says "registration unavailable"

  • Please explain to me this "skip." Because I didn't see it.

  • Its just a gimmick, nothing special there. If i wanted that i would have bought a wii.

    This has no potential, nice experiment but its to clumsy to indeed replace the keys and mouse combo.

    Besides how the hell i gotta drink my beer without walking of a cliff in sl.

    LOOOL

    Nahhh gimmick, nice but nothing special 3 stars for the vid.

  • Awesome, and AMAZING!

  • how to talk in second life if you don't need a keyboard ?

  • Microphone?

  • Nerds.

  • how bout going out and doing these things ('cept for flying of course) in the RW?

  • Ok.. explain this.. how i click objects, teleport.. write or open Boxes.. With no damn keyboard or a a Mouse!!!

  • how about detaching hair to that avatar hands free? do you just toss a toupe on?

  • it's becomming more and more like a holodeck

  • wait, all u need is a camera?

  • Incredible stuff :)

  • I wanna try sl combat like this lmao

  • x333333333333333333

  • true.. its way easier with controllers or keyboard-mouse duo... And its kinda more fun i think , i dont like the Wii and the others thing like that lol. I like the old good controllers :)

  • bald harry potter in the sky!

  • Second Life is f***ing crap, I just tried it about 17 f***ing times and it said and I quote "Free Download" and yet it still wants your credit card details f*** off pricks. Sad b******s that invented it anyway.

  • wow your fucking stupid you dont have to pay for it. and by the way if your gonna be pissed the least you could do is spell FUCK!!!

  • how is this technology coming along? Any updates? Your web-site shows the last post in April of 2008. Tink Genira

  • MAN o MAN I wasjust talking about this to a freind today! Saying how I wish they'd invent something so I could get up & REALLY dance MY style at the SL partys! And be in time with the Music!! Instead of relying on an animation! THIS is BRILLIANT!! Its just a matter of time now!! PARTYYYYY from home!! As a single parent I find this SO REWARDing! I dont miss out on a social life!! I can do all from HOME& have fun!! CANT wait til they develop this further!!! YAY!!!

  • this is a good evolution in games and its good for people getting fat. also the future gaming gets more realistic so it will be scarely close or visiually the same to real life :) unfortunately till that time i will be a grandpa who could break a bone after a few footsteps....

  • imagine playin god of war or gta on that !

  • hey that was cool good job wooow =)

  • Hmmm ... I do not think that this play is very convenient. :D

  • How do you jerk off to Second Life 'hands free'....please explain

  • @LitterboxDiorama Enter the Virtual Hole.

  • @LitterboxDiorama ahahahahahahahahahaha

  • @LitterboxDiorama lol wiggle around the motion rofl

  • @LitterboxDiorama Exactly. Not something you can do mmkay?

  • The areas I have with a computer don't use space that way, so I would have to move around a cluttered environment to make this work. Also, I have dogs and cats - what happens when they enter the frame?

    Lastly, it's all very well to get rid of a mouse and keyboard (and yes, you can probably use Voice), but what happens when you need to select something off one's inventory, or use a keyboard. Will it still track you and interpret things?

  • This is genius. A way for the handicapped to access SL, as well as a new way for everyone to interact with the grid. Awesome!

  • wow. i wanna be a player on seond life. too bad i didn't have a cellphoe are a paypal. :(

  • having a sl account is free you know..?

  • Comment removed

  • i have one i am not useing but it is a boy account

  • LOL just like the stupid and waste of time game RUNESCAPE

  • sick

  • Outstanding. Amazing. I Love It:)

  • Is it just me or does anyone else wonder why they are messing with this instead of FIXING the current grid?

    I can see this working soooooo well.

  • god, i miss my second life, i owned a small clothing/avatar buisness that was starting to bloom, then i had to leave my house from the california fire, im in england now saving up for a new computer so i can get back online

  • Imagine how great it would be to be able to dance, walk and exercise with HANDS FREE see the Second Aerobics video!

  • Is joining second life free? just wondering

  • yes it is

  • yup

  • it is free to join.

  • yea but when i try to join it keeps asking me for a payment method and if i dont choose one i can't join

  • The payment method is only in case you decide to purchase Linden dollars, which I believe is optional.

  • ok thanks

  • Okay great thing going on here....BUT ITS STILL LIMITED MOVEMENT. What if I raise my arms outta excitement? I'm just gonna fly up instead of laughing around with my friends? lol. You should make it so that when we WALK, it WALKS. God Damn we need exercise!! We can use the damn keyboard for flying up or down, I mean geeshhhh the way it is now i'd be afraid to lift a finger or else I might go bezerk.

  • OMG! AMAZING!

  • The general motion appears akin to Iron Man minus the armour.

  • great work when does it come out!!!

  • is that govenor linden in rl

  • are you serious !!!! how boring

    go outside and get some excercise.

    meet some people and chat up a real girl...

    geee's

  • I'm gay though. I get nervous trying to go up to men. =( Most of the time people are

    str8 and who knows if their homophobic

  • how the hell do you get around on that game? It started me into at little island and I didn't know how to escape and neither did anyone else. There were a couple of other people there to and we were all just like what the hell so I just left after awhile of bumping into walls and shit. Pretty shitty from my own experience

  • your new most of the new people dont understand anything but you clickon the "go to the main land" sign then you get a lm and you can tp away

  • where is the go to the main land sign : / I wish the site would just automatically start you where the rest of society is and not on a little island with a couple people

  • They have to do that to prove mini tutorials on how to use the world because it's very frustrating for everyone inworld to help all the newbies with basics!

  • lol! Well it caused me and I am sure many others to stop playing the game

  • That is meant as a peaceful location for a beginner to learn the how tos of -navigation, -building, -chatting, -changing appearance and -inventory managing

    It contains all the information and beginner-easy quests/tasks

    we also have fully operational mentor-system... unfortunatedly we do not have enough mentors for every island 24/7 most likely you landed on a graveyeardshift-hour

    it is now possible to land directly to somewhere on the main grid, if you have the address that is.

  • You have to remember, that all LL provides are the viewer and the land, everything else you see on main grid are user-made contents... that is why there seldom is any tutorials how to navigate in your shoestore...

  • wow! You know a lot about Second Life. Yea, I am going to give up on it though. It's a biot to complex for me. Thanx for the info though =D

  • heh, yeah it is another world. Good for people having no time or not othervise able to travel, scuba, meet people etc. in real world. It is so easy to just pop in for an hour or so... go see the Taj Mahal then New York... after it perhaps in a strip-joint or a dance club. Chat with your friends. Lot to learn before you can actually do anything.

    I am making a "living" as a hair maker in SL, almost 4 years now.

  • wow just amaizing

  • Great work!!!

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • really cool

  • ur awesome

  • so you can fly?

  • cool u get exersise this way

  • 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

  • woho, I want one :)

  • I have to get off my duff? RADICAL!

  • If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals... and make life...not only worth living, but divinely beautiful...and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution-then, it seems to me, all our problems would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise.

  • Where could i purchase one of thease?

  • nice gadget!

  • Pretty cool beans I must say. Bad for lazy mouse clickers though.

  • To script I think you need a keyboard, lol

  • I just read about this camera and its already pretty far down the line. Before too long it will be for sale for $100 and useable with anything, not just Second Life

  • Excellent idea. Looks like this will work.

  • impressive!

  • dunder mifflin

  • noboddy makes the first jump....

    We are in the Matrix.. Neo had the same problem... he needs this interface :-)

  • Really fascinating! I hope this will be implemented in the nearby future. xD

  • I hope Nintendo incorporates something like this into their next system

  • not EXACTLY handsfree. lol

  • super encore mieux que la console wii de nitendo.tout devient plus accessible pour tous.concept interessant à exploiter au maximum...bruno

  • sweet video! This will make Second Life more accessible. It's a pretty cool concept as it is, but I'm sure they've got more up their sleeves...

  • ya ya walking and flying ......yawn.......can't wait for an on line battle simulator(any type or genre e.g. ancient combat or modern)yummmmmmmyyyyy

  • ooh that's pretty cool. =)

    that'll probably sell like a wii when it's finished.

    keep it up.

  • they should really make this for online gaming.

  • pretty cool.

  • its sad that this tech wont be availiable for a couple decades... there's no use for it now... not even mentioning the cost

  • Looks very nice. Good work, guys.

  • They should make this for the Wii.

  • Future is a little closer!

    W'll move around a virtual world..

  • Future is a little closer!

  • woooooooooooooow! AWSOME!

  • This program is entirely too laggy, I check in every few months to check on if it's less laggy, not so. It's a cool program but IMO it has a very long way to go before it is really enjoyable fully, without lag.

  • It's not the program it's the internet connection. This program is way ahead of it's time. We just don't have fast enough internet yet.

  • Great progress Lindens! What would be really cool though, if RL free moving gestures could be brought into SL, ie: I wave my hand, my hand waves in SL, etc. - IE: Do away with poses, use RL poses!

    Also, im wondering about flying, if I have to hold my hands at my waste most of the time, or i go down, could get tiring.

    Great progress nonetheless!!!!

  • Mouse: But what if he makes it?

    Kapor: No one makes the first jump.

    This looks like fascinating tech! The video refers to 3D webcams... I would be interested to know if the software on the backend could be extended for use with normal webcams. I'll have to read up on those.

  • I love it when new milestones and platforms are reached. The applications here are limitless. Neil Stephenson's MetaVerse, here we come!
