[Opensim-users] Hoping for a fearless comparison of opensim vs unity 3D

[Wade]

@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!
