Tribal One: Entering
I've promised a few people to show you what we've done with integrating web and 3D. It's a good example of what can be done with OpenSim as it's so modular.
This video clip shows how a facebook user checks a friend out, and decides to enter Tribal One.
Points of interest:
- The 'Friends' list on the facebook app page shows "join" and/or "visit" depending on whether that friend is online in the world. "join" places your avatar next to your friend. "visit" lets you visit that friends on-demand home region.
- When the user presses "Enter Tribal Net" a client is launched, and the user is seamlessly logged-thru into Tribal Net.
- The avatar information is taken from Facebook.
- The left and top panel is web content - the left panel is the web hybrid mini-browser, initially contains Tribal One-aware facebook applications and your facebook web profile/friends and photos.
- The 'Gazebo' next to the avatar is content placed on it's 'garden', a parcel-on-demand that only exists while the user is in-world.
- When an island is full of "gardens", another island is created "on demand".
