[sldev] Body motion and facial expression tracking, Microsoft did it

[Thomas Grimshaw]

Right, but the technology is live, is working, and is impressive, as you 
can see from this third-party article:

I'm not suggesting that this technology should be integrated into the 
core of Second Life; I think that if LL tried to implement this it would 
end up half working akin to Windlight and many other linden investments, 
BUT I really would like to see the lab building an /interface/ to allow 
this level of live avatar control which can be hooked into by third 
parties in the future.
