That's the key for each avatar, Fmeh. More than that, someone else will need to explain.

Yep looks like someone in the room was wearing a device that gave them the avatar keys of every avatar within range. Not sure what someone would use that for though. An avatar key is a number that identifies the avatar. For example some vendors will require the owner's avatar key to know where the money goes, I think. The greeter I use on the island needs me to put in my avatar key to send me the message when someone enters.

I have a scripted object that will give you your own avatar key if you touch it, but I've never seen one that just automatically recorded people's before.

I have no special devices or anything, that is what shows up when there are winners to one of those powerball thingies. I did a ctrl+printscreen and imported it into photoshop and saved it.

After this last update, the Multigadgets became borked, spamming every time you changed sims or another person came within range.

I hope it's fixed soon.

av keys are useful

We have several rental systems that when an av pays it, it records the key and sends information to them about the rental, so i can see it being useful in other applications, such as perhaps spamming, or advertising of some sort...oh good lord take my key offa yer list, i get enuff a that in real life..lol
