Abstract
In this paper we present a Mixed Reality (MR) teleconferencing
application based on Second Life (SL) and the OpenSim virtual world.
Augmented Reality (AR) techniques are used for displaying virtual avatars of
remote meeting participants in real physical spaces, while Augmented
Virtuality (AV), in form of video based gesture detection, enables capturing
of human expressions to control avatars and to manipulate virtual objects in
virtual worlds. The use of Second Life for creating a shared augmented space
to represent different physical locations allows us to incorporate the
application into existing infrastructure. The application is implemented
using open source Second Life viewer, ARToolKit and OpenCV libraries. (25
