ALPACA

A somewhat tortuous acronym, ALPACA stands for Automated Live Presentation Archive for Casting Anywhere. This UK project seeks to capture live events like presentations, conference sessions and concerts, and broadcast them into virtual worlds (such as Second Life) in real time. The presenter's avatar is animated using motion-capture tecnhiques, while live audio, video and presentation slides are streamed into the virtual world. Events can also be archived so that users can replay them at their convenience.
