Mitch Kapor discussion in SL

















Mitch Kapor, an early Second Life investor and luminary, spoke yesterday at a CMP event. He talked about future technologies that will be responsible for making virtual worlds more appealing to users and business alike.

He talked about photo-to-face services that allow users to look more like themselves inside of virtual worlds. He was obviously not aware of Cranial Tap's Avatar Island build which has offered this service since June of 2007. He also discussed 3D camera's that can be used to drive character gestures using body movements. He may want to be aware of the efforts of LightGlove who offer much more functionality over a camera. Mitch...call me and we'll do prim lattes and talk.
