Gesture Recognition in Snowstorm

Today a patch was released for the Snowstorm Second Life viewer that enables gesture recognition. It scans the video stream from your laptop's webcam and determines if you are shaking your head up/down, or if you are waving. It then plays animations matching those in Second Life, so everyone around you in SL sees you waving or nodding.

It is very early code, so don't blame me if your machine explodes, but it is kinda fun to play with. It pops up a side window showing the outlines of what the gesture code finds, including a nice box around your head. During testing I had to make myself humanoid, since my funky woolly caterpillar avatar didn't grok the head nodding.
