It occurs to me that they could be cut-down avatars which are owned by the
world instead of a user. We need to somehow send a signal to the object to
change like how Steve's avatar did for the poetry reading, then it will
alter for everybody.
When I say 'cut-down' I mean that it would need to send updates to all the
users should its state or position change but does not need to receive
them, so it is kinda half an avatar.
But just how do you send a signal to the shared object?
