Yeah I am trying to get his to run, but no luck yet, wish it wasnt only linux based,
But even a general 3-D graphical app is not that hard to write, I have done a few, and I am also looking at something like using a Second Life interface, as much of the graphics and interface design has already been done, and there is a rich environment and interface there that could be built upon. I also wrote a bot for World of Warcraft, though I dont believe the environment is rich enough for full interactions needed by an AGI. Once you could get to a level of telling the AGI to do something like "Fill up that bucket full of water", having it respond with ? Dont know how, please show me, and then being able to use your character to specificially show it how to do tasks, you would be in a good position to have a teachable robot that could then generalize on these tasks to learn how to do many different things.

A VR interface would certainly be nice, but it takes a lot of time to build one and I'm not good at that area. Maybe Ben's AGI-Sim can be used by another AGI? If so we can save a lot of efforts.
