<br>
1) Have an in-world script using osAvatarPlayAnimation() to trigger animations. This would need to establish an LSL http listener for incoming commands, which some external code would need to issue.<br>
<br>
2) Write a C# OpenSimulator region module to directly call ScenePresence.Animation.<u></u>AddAnimation(). Essentially, this means copying the code from OSSL_Api.AvatarPlayAnimation()<u></u>. The region module would still need some way of receiving commands, such as an listening for a particular HTTP POST as with osAvatarPlayAnimation() above.<br>
<br>
3) Adapt the client to send the required play animation commands directly (as Bo suggested). This does have the advantage of compatibility with SL and doesn't require a messy out-of-band component. But the complexity depends on exactly what you're trying to do (playing precanned animations might be relatively easy, actually transmitting real-time kinect less so).<br>
<br>
There's been some work done on this kind of thing already, such as [1]. I look forward to Kinect 2 picking up my facial expressions and transmitting them onto my avatar (which sounds great and for some reason really creepy too).<br>

Hello Bo,<br>
thanks for the commentary. That may be a very worthwhile suggestion. Exactly<br>
that is what I am trying to figure out, which interface is the most<br>
suitable.<br>
Would others agree that when controlling just one avatar it is best practice<br>
to do that with the help of the viewer?<br>

Betreff: Re: [Opensim-dev] Question about the suitable interface<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
forgive me a noob question, please. You are going to control nothing but one<br>
<br>
avatar, right? What will be the role of simulator in it?<br>
<br>
If the Kinect movements would affect all avatars on the sim (eg. an kinect<br>
controlled earthquake) i would understand the role of the sim. But while it<br>
affects just one avatar i would rather do all changes on viewer side using<br>
standard ways so the thing would be compatible with SL..<br>
<br>
Bo<br>
<br>
PS: of course it could possible to do it as a sim module. But question is<br>
why..<br>
<br>

My Name is Georg and would be very happy if you could answer my question.<br>

Short description of what my aim is:<br>

I am working on a application that is able to recognize gestures from a<br>
Kinect controller. With the help of this I want to control an avatar in<br>
OpenSim. So I have the recognition application and OpenSim running<br>
