Second Life ideas?

Any one have ideas for Second Life,My first idea is Second Life should let you use your voice communicator insted of typing all the time.For my Second idea Second Life should abel to let you use differnt computer controllers insted of a keyboard and a computer mouse.

I have seen an object in world that would allow you to use voice. Of course, anyone you were talking to needed to have it to!
I may still have it in my inventory, but I don't know.

I'd really like to have more input controls for SL.

What I thought was something like this:

Your script would call global_id = llControlSocket(integer socket);.

SL would then start listening on localhost:6600 for socket==0, though localhost:6699 for socket==99.

Your controller could write on that socket, sending strings (up to, say, 255 bytes) terminated by a newline.

Each string would be sent as a single UDP packet in the normal SL data flow.

You would receive each line as a dataserver event with the id returned by the llControlSocket() call.

This would work cross-platform, and could be used by a variety of controllers. you could even have voice recognition software send text over the socket for you to "say".
