Building for SL in RL

I'm wondering if anyone is working in RL interfaces to do SL work? This may not be the right forum, but I couldn't find another one that was obviously more suitable. In RL I work with the development of Augmented Reality devices (eye glasses, data gloves, etc.). As I've been developing my building skills in SL, I am constantly brought back to the idea that I should be able to adapt the AR system so that I am physically moving around to build... It seems to me a case of developing the right drivers, but it may be more complicated that this. May not suit everyone, but I'm trying to reconcile the need to be physical instead of spending hours at the computer keyboard... I'm sure someone must be doing this kind of development?

I also believe it raises issues of "doubling up" the lives, RL and SL. There are obvious dangers, but part of the time I could see some real interest in doing this. Building is one example, but, frankly, partying may be another ;)

Any discussion about this in SL?

You could have a dig through http://www.nonpolynomial.com/ for some stuff.

qDot is a total slacker, though, and doesn't seem to have done anything for ages.
