Sim-Link

Finally made it to the first milestone - linking something in the real world with an equivalent in the simulation. In the video below you can see Jack turning a lamp on and off. It's physical counterpart follow suit.



(You may also notice a small white circle around the switch - this represents the sound of the switch to us the viewers; soon Jack will actually 'hear' it.)

With this proof-of-concept in the bag, we'll move on to modelling a full computer keyboard; and you can probably guess where that's heading. At the same time we'll be reaching out to some social media sites get their views on Jack being a user. On that note, please get in touch if you can help out with that - I know from experience that it's pretty hard to hold of someone savvy at a big corp.
