However, since then I&#8217;ve not stopped by his blog very often. My bust. He recently posted a neat little video showing the now open source Second Life client hacked to read input from a hardware sensor. From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackdiary.com\/archives\/000101.html\">his blog entry (Link)<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On the left you&#8217;ll see an Arduino reading analogue values from a potentiometer and feeding the results in via the USB-serial interface to my Mac. On the right, you&#8217;ll see a modified version of Second Life that is feeding those values in via my avatar&#8217;s chat channel. An object in the Second Life world is reacting, with perhaps a half-second lag.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hooking into Second Life isn&#8217;t new, but it&#8217;s still relatively unexplored.
