‘Second Life’ like real life
Interesting article from AP on Yahoo News. New technology from Japan could help make navigating online virtual worlds simpler by letting players use their own bodies — or even brain waves — to control their avatars.
“This technology lets you use take the actions you’d use in real life and transpose them to the virtual world,” said research leader Michitaka Hirose, Tokyo University. “It could make maneuvering much, much easier.”
Don’t hold your breath though - there are no plans to commercialise at this stage.
