As the real hands move the paper cutouts with the identifying marks, a webcam picks up the image which is then processed and sent into Second Life. You can see a video of the hands being streamed inside SL and, of course, the virtual submarines shooting torpedoes at each other.<\/p>\n<p>Nice little mixed-reality effort.<\/p>\n<p>Wonder what we&#8217;ll see next.
