USING MICROSOFT KINECT AND SECOND LIFE TO EMBODY AVATARS: GESTURE & EMOTION TRANSFERENCE We are developing methods of recognizing social gestures in order to explore the transference of emotion and gesture between a virtual world and the real world. Thai Phan, an engineer at the MxR Lab, has developed new software, using the OpenNI toolkit as a foundation, which utilizes Kinect to read gestures and triggers corresponding server-side scripts within Second Life. These methods may allow the user to feel a deeper emotional connection to the social gesture performed by their virtual avatar, regardless of the bond which already exists between the user and his recipient. 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. projects.ict.usc.edu Click on Embodiment.
