Second Life to introduce 'Expressive Puppeteering'

Puppeteer

Second Life Insider reports that Linden Labs is working to release a new technology into Second Life dubbed, "Expressive Puppeteering." With EP, Second Lifers will be able to manipulate their avatars in real time, resulting in unique movements and gestures. These animations can be easily "learned" by avatars and presumably accessed with ease for repeated use. And, as Second Life Insider points out, EP could potentially crown Second Life the preferred medium for machinima artists.
