Mixed Reality Message Wall Bridges SL to Singapore Library

Using Arduino hardware, Singapore researcher Jungho Yeom (RobbieYeom Tomorrow in Second Life) created this mixed reality wall that displays messages between avatars in Second Life and people in the library of National University of Singapore. Messages from the real world are sent via text message, and a camera digitizes the sender's face, so both text and person are displayed in SL. From Second Life, messages are relayed via in-world notecard, and in an even cooler feature, the message bubbles shown on the real world side are lined in shadow, when an avatar is standing near the SL side. Read more about how it works on Jungho's blog, here and here.
