Scripting in Second Life Virtual Environment & Programmatic Control of Keyboard and Mouse Commands

The aim of the course is to give an overview of Linden Scripting Language (LSL) used to add behaviour to objects in Second Life virtual environment. The students will also learn to control the keyboard and mouse commands from software and apply this in dynamically translating the Kinect device gesture recognition into Second Life avatar activity.

Project Work

Project 1
Title: Gesture & emotion transference: real time motion tracking for moving Second Life avatar
Description: This project aims to use of Microsoft Kinect to control Second Life avatar using hand gestures. These project may allow the user to feel a deeper emotional connection to the social gesture performed by their virtual avatar. For example, instead of having to think about pressing the right sequence of keys to make a ‘wave’ gesture, the user can simply raise their hand and wave.
Language: C#

Project 2
Title: Gesture-based interface: real time gesture recognition for controlling Second Life
Description: The project aims at developing a program for recognising a set of gestures executed in front of the Microsoft Kinect. The system will work in real time and will emulate keyboard input triggered by body posture and specific gestures.
Language: C#
