Microsoft is holding a developer day for the C# programming language. What’s so unusual about that, I hear you ask? This one is taking place in Second Life, according to eWeek.
eWeek reports on experiments in a Japanese university where paralyzed people learn to control avatars in Second Life. Electrodes attached to the scalp can pick up electrical charges associated with brain activity and this can be interpreted by a computer to manipulate an online persona. eWeek suggests paralyzed people could one day be able to shop or do business or socialise just by thinking about it – in cyberspace.
