Tomorrow (12/4) at 6pm SLT, Glyph Graves is demonstrating his awesome Kinect-to-Second Life mixed reality sculpture, which uses Microsoft's 3D motion capture camera to instantiate his very face into the metaverse. Read about it here, and read about the event at the Linden Endowment of the Arts here. And just before 6pm SLT tomorrow, click here for a direct SLurl teleport to the performance site.

Hi yes ... its was a bit different to the previous piece. This one creates a in world puppet made of prims that reproduces my physical world movements as a second stylized avatar.
It also turns my hands into musical instruments by mapping the x-y coordinates of my physical world hands to flute notes
