Good conversation, overall confirms the direction we've been thinking. OK, so I put up a new page in the wiki which is a project page for the specific work we're thinking of doing next:
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Gesture_Recognition We have an intern starting at beginning of June who will work on this project. It would be fabulous if someone here wants to do a patch for Snowglobe that does the viewer side of this (see doc), which is to listen for local network packets and trigger gestures and set lookAt based on the contents of those packets. That would allow us to have the intern focus totally on the recognition/analysis app, and would also allow folks in the community who want to play with other hardware or analysis algorithms to do so. Summary: hopefully this summer we can update Snowglobe to make your avatar nod, shake its head, and look around in response to what a commodity webcam can see.
