[sldev] Anyone here with OpenCV experience?

[Dzonatas Sol]

After I read all the great replies on this list that this question has 
generated, I think there may be a way to allow several options and LL 
wouldn't have to be stuck with only one single driver.

LL just needs to agree upon a generic interface that is needed to 
control head motion, mouth, common gestures and such. Let the community 
work together with LL to design any implementation from there. 
Anotherwords, build towards the generic interface instead of towards the 
driver itself. It's actually an old development principle.

What are the needed methods for the generic interface?

* Head Yaw
* Head Pitch
* Head Roll

Left & Right Versions:
* Eyelid Blink
* Eyelid Close
* Eyelid Open
* Eyelid Pitch

Left & Right Versions:
* Eyebrow Pitch
* Eyebrow Roll

* Mouth...

Sure there will be many for the mouth.

Upon an event to trigger a head gesture, find and play the animations 
that best match the criteria passed by the generic interface.

Again, there seems several really good suggestion made on this list, so 
this suggestion for a generic interface is one way to allow the user to 
use any of them. *wink*
