For those of ya who missed this tidbit in Robin's blog: ---------- Physical Avatar -- being implemented by Ventrella Linden "Physical Avatar" is the name of a new technology being developed at Linden Lab which allows the avatar to be more intimately connected to other avatars, things in the world, and realtime user manipulation. Ventrella believes that in general, avatars in virtual worlds are still stuck in their own local coordinate systems (referred to as the "lonely coordinate system"  . Physical Avatar uses 3D physics and a special 3D transformation scheme to make avatars pliable, manipulable, and interactive, in many ways. ------------- Jeff Ventrella (Ventrella Linden) is the genius who designed THERE's avatars. http://www.answers.com/topic/jeffrey-ventrellahttp://www.ventrella.com/
