I'm currently working on a project that will involve an external object controlling objects in Second Life. I want to do this via the Arduino emulating a keypress. Can Processing take information from the Arduino and then, in the background, emulate a keypress in whatever program is open?

I don't know about the keypress sending though. The realworld to secondlife interface using arduino...I remember a Google Tech Talk by Jonathan Oxer where he basically shows how to do just that: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3850910409804844384
