@Seren, someone HAS used the X-box Kinect sensor to convert their body position to their avatar position real time for teaching in Second Life. X-Box is not required apparently, just the Kinect.

Google Search on: Kinect and Second Life, or Kinect and OpenSim for more references!

There are two things that would make be ecstatic for teaching, meetings and presenting in opensim:

1) direct drive animation of my avatar as I present from my real world movements or very very good presenter animation stacks

2) something from webmeeting space which is to show any app window I wish live on a screen/prim in opensim. We aren't quite there yet with MOAP although it is a great beginning.

        For many educational uses adapting and changing objects is
not needed.

    I respectfully beg to differ. This is the core of the my research
    efforts. A learning environment needs to provide user level
    tailorability from the core. The fact that it is not available
    does not mean that it is not needed. I cannot count how many
    times, subject matter experts felt that their teaching is being
    canned by the environment, or that students find their expression
    (through actions) limited. This is the result of extensive
    evaluation on the ground, both from an ethnographic evaluation
    perspective and for a user level evaluation perspective. I hope
    to publish these findings soon (well after I get some time away
    from writing grant proposals or doing actual building work)
