Tokyo - A paralysed man using only his brain waves has been able to manipulate a virtual Internet character, Japanese researchers said on Monday, calling it a world first.
The 41-year-old patient used his imagination to make his character take a walk and chat to another virtual person on the popular Second Life website.
The patient, who has suffered paralysis for more than 30 years, can barely bend his fingers due to a progressive muscle disease so cannot use a mouse or keyboard in the traditional way.

The Future of OpenSim and Second Life By SL Hak An interesting podcast from ZATZai Services who interviewed Adam Zaius and Teravus Ousley who are both developing their own version of OpenSim. The interview deals in depth with issues faced by OpenSim and discusses topics such as the chokepoint with the asset servers, DRM and connecting multiple OpenSims to Second Life. If you'd like to skip to the Q&A's it starts at 48:48. The podcast can get a little technical but if you're considering investing in OpenSim then this podcast is a must.

HBO said on Tuesday it has acquired the rights to a short-form documentary shot entirely within Second Life, as entertainment companies increasingly turn to virtual worlds as a source for new content. "My Second Life: The video diaries of Molotov Alta" purports to tell the story of a man who "disappeared from his California home" and began issuing video dispatches from Second Life. The popular virtual world, which has its own currency and a growing economy, has drawn millions of users who create alter egos called avatars and interact with people from around the world. HBO, the premium channel owned by Time Warner Inc, paid a six-figure sum for the rights, Douglas Gayeton, who made the film, said in an interview. Gayeton, who uses the avatar Molotov Alta in Second Life, said the documentary is scheduled for release in 2008. READ IT ALL AT... http://www.reuters.com
