Hi everyone!

Today I released a product on the Second Life Market place! It's the TV Backpack!

This backpack takes advantage of Linden Lab's new viewer Viewer Beta 2.0!

What's really cool, is that once you wear it, a TV monitor sits outside of the backpack above your avatar's head, where you can broadcast live ustream.com feeds directly from your Web Cam!

Great for bringing an additional level of Transperancy to the Virtual World!

Using UStream, you can broadcast your audio and video onto the display screen, but I recommend that you disable audio. Instead, use Second Life's built in voice audio for better quality.

This product is could be a lot of fun!

Give it a try, and let me know how it worked for you!
