First, love, love, looooove this!

Second, my avi either sticks out her tong ore looks suprised, no matter how big a smile i have on my rl face. Those are the only expressions i get. And they take a long time to come trough.

Any suggestions?

I got as far tonight as to get my Acer’s Crystal Eye to be willing to ‘direct capture’ footage to YouTube, but my video screen in the VWR viewer still appears blank (err.. black actually) before & after calibration (which of course, it mentions it failed.)

More trying to get this to work tomorrow, but I get a feeling it might be Acer Drivers more than this Second Life client to blame. (As the default drivers failed at communicating without about everything but Skype. Tssss.)

I so want to test this! :(

when i was going throu random faces…..(before my face totally cramped up) my avatar stuck her tongue out twice…….but my expression irl was nowhere near that of my avatar.

making the avatar to smile was tricky…….try smiling with a mad openmouth grin….that worked for me. ^_^

Fenoe, did the ’stick tongue out’ work? ArminasX reported “my avatar gives a silly smile when u start it, but that’s all” and iAlya just managed to let her avatar stick out her tongue. (Sadly enough, no snaps from the human during that attempt.)

(Above mentioned on Plurk)

i just gave it a try and it kinda worked….
i had to look batshit insane to smile and flail about to nod my head..
but the tilt left and right worked really well…to well sometimes

i naturally tilt my head to the right…so it looked like my ava had tics :D

anyway…really interesting tech

This sounds quite incredible, so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work at all on my iMac. While the viewer installs and the video calibrates, no head movements were reflected on my avatar. Oh well. Hopefully this will work in future releases.
