[Opensim-dev] Question about the suitable interface

[Bo]

Hello,
forgive me a noob question, please. You are going to control nothing but one 
avatar, right? What will be the role of simulator in it?

If the Kinect movements would affect all avatars on the sim (eg. an kinect 
controlled earthquake) i would understand the role of the sim. But while it 
affects just one avatar i would rather do all changes on viewer side using 
standard ways so the thing would be compatible with SL..

Bo

PS: of course it could possible to do it as a sim module. But question is 
why..
