Cell phone + Web cam + Second Life = Magic
http://tinyurl.com/62tv4c Cell phone + Web cam + Second Life = Magic To go from a frozen avatar waiting for his slides to rez, to a live talking head that can switch back and forth to a presentation or screencast-demo. I’d heard that there were ways to stream into Second Life, but most of those presentations were big ones done by major corporations, likely spending oodles of money. With a little elbow grease and some creative thinking though, I thought surely there must be a way to do it. . ... And there was. |

SpaceNavigator
http://www.3dconnexion.com/3dmouse/spacenavigator.php SpaceNavigator Pressure sensing technology allows the controller cap to become a virtual extension of you. Push, pull, twist or tilt the cap a fraction of inch to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate 3D imagery. Increase pressure to go fast or decrease pressure to make intricate adjustments The key advantage of a SpaceNavigator over a mouse and keyboard is the ease of performing intricate adjustments to camera views and models with out repeatedly stopping to change directions, zoom, or rotate models. With a SpaceNavigator you can do all three at once. |

Streaming Magnatune's Music into Second Life
http://magnatune.com/info/second_life Streaming Magnatune's Music into Second Life We'd like you add our music to your land, so that people visiting your space can listen to our fabulous music. We've made 40 different streams--from Alternative Rock to World--just for Second Life use, so you can pick the genre that best fits your tastes. Best of all, we consider all Second Life playing of these streams to be a promotional use of our music, and grant you a license to use our music for free. We also grant you a collecting society waiver, so that if ASCAP or BMI ever asks you to pay them for the music you're using on Second Life (something they can do if you play anyone else's music in SL), you can point them to this page. |

Script generator for non-scripters
http://www.3greeneggs.com/autoscript/ Script generator for non-scripters It attempts to translate the way non-programmers think about interactivity into a functioning script. This has a long way to go, but I hope it might be a useful tool for some of you and your students. I would love your feedback - what should I add? Does the vocabulary make sense? Do all of the scripts work, and work the way that you expect them to? This site will help you create scripts for your Second Life objects. These scripts allow you to add interactive elements to your builds without knowing how to code. All of the script are released under a creative commons license, which means that you can use them freely! |

Second Life Script Library
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Library Second Life Script Library There are many scripts that have become buried in the Scripting Library forum, were lost with the death of the scripting forums, or sit idle in inventories that could be useful and should be more accessible. Other scripters may be in the same situation. This wiki is a well-suited medium for a script library. Feel free to add your scripts to the script library by creating new pages for them and linking to those pages here. |

Set up a radio that allows the user to switch channels
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetParcelMusicURL Is it possible to set up a radio that allows the user to switch channels (and thus audio channels)? Yes. You would use llSetParcelMusicURL() http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetParcelMusicURL). As long as the object owner is the same as the land owner, that function will change the audio stream url. For a quick solution, you could have a series of prims each with a different url that was triggered by a touch_start llSetParcelMusicURL |
