How to use new device to interact with SL?

Hi,

I want to use Gesture tech to control the avatar operation, like walk, turn left/right, pick and so on.
My current idea is to use this gesture to simulate the actions as key arrow and mouse commands. The gesture is realized by data grove, one VR device.
Can anyone tell me how to realize this kind of function in SL? I need to write functions in SL viewer, or write script in SL?
My purpose is to add more input methods into SL, like integrating Logitec 3D mouse with SL.
I really appreciate that SL fellow give me some advices or examples.

Thanks,
Peter

well i guess you could get the source and write up your own client

but it often works just as well to remap those type of things and leave sl alone, such as a "joystick to mouse/ keyboard" driver, which ive help setup a few times with ppl who have some form of disability

Hi Osgeld

So for your second suggestion, how to remap those things? The input comes from Serial port of PC. It needs to write a separate program to substitute keyboard command when I run SL? or you mean to write script in SL?

For your first suggestion, I am not familiar with client. I will have a look.

Thank you very much
peter

Thanks.
I compile 1_20_10 and plan to work on it to do some further integration.
