Introducing Parsec
Originally uploaded by nandnerd
Dizzy Banjo dropped me an IM and landmark for the opening of Parsec, an audio-visual immersive interactive um, thing. A series of gestures which allow you to control an instrument using Voice. The aim is to collaborate with 6 other “musicians” to produce the right sequence and solve Parsec. Not only is this a technical advance (using voice to control objects in SL) but it is a beautiful implementation with a stunning setting for the game (if you could call it that).
Visit my flickr page to view some shots of the place. SLHamlet (Hamlet Au?) has uploaded a video to YouTube which does a good job of putting this system across but really you should go and check it out for yourself.
