2016 HG: NEW: Find resources on the Hypergrid. For HG Newcomers

Find resources on the Hypergrid. 
For HG Newcomers: HGProjects
Selected resources newcomers can use to find things they may want on the Hypergrid.  Communities, market, places, events, performers, scripts, OAR files. 


  • I have selected what I think are the best sources.
  • In some places, I offer Google search terms that worked well for me.
  • These search terms are in hypertext and so respond to a click.

2017 WRITE: OSHG: How writers could use a web-world. Meet in a minute

How writers could use a web-world.  Meet in a minute  
Web-worlds are well suited to interests that mainly call for people to meet in a group and talk.  Web-worlds for such purposes will sort themselves by interest, so it is best to think of how particular interest groups would use them.  Here I describe how people interested in writing could use a web-world for formal and informal meetings.
Writers meeting at Nara's Nook

Some of us wish for

  • A writing community as near as your computer.  
  • Easy to visit in your browser--as easy to visit as your email.
  • No password, no login.  Just go to the web page a one of the meeting times.
  • Pick your avatar, type the name you want to use, and walk in.  
  • Where we could talk in voice and text to the group or to each other.  
  • We can do part of that now, in virtual worlds.  
  • But it is not as easy as a web-world will be.
  • And not as cheap as it will be on a Chromebook.
  • Demo:  Cybalounge updated: now with voice!

2017 OSHG: The OSHG project joins forces with IMA

The OSHG project joins forces with IMA

The OSHG project started by Selby Evans under New Media Arts is merging with the newly formed organization, Infinite Metaverse Alliance (IMA).  Selby will continue to work on the project objectives as an adviser to IMA.  IMA is welcoming new members and seeking their advice. 

  • Reminder: OSHG stands for OpenSimulator-HyperGrid. 
  • The OSHG project was started by New Media Arts 
  • in an effort to speed advances in OpenSim and the hypergrid.   
  • HGProjects and the OSHG initiative. Summary, Fall 2016
    •
  • Infinite Metaverse Alliance (IMA) has similar objectives and more resources, 
  • So it made good sense to join with them 
  • I will continue to report on the OSHG objectives.
  • And I will now report on other developments in IMA. 
  • Full disclosure: I will be working with IMA as an adviser and promoter.
  • I am an investor and could benefit financially if the business side becomes profitable
  • This is not a business investment.  I would only recommend it to support OpenSim. 

You can be come a social member of IMA free. Just do any one of these things

2016 MULTIMEDIA: Old time radio shows you might want in your virtual world

Old time radio shows you might want  
in your world
Many places in virtual worlds have themes that would fit old radio plays.  Perhaps some of the owners will want to add the opportunity to listen to an old radio show to the experiences available at their places.   

  • I have not tested all these links; some may fail. 
  • I expect you can present these using browser-on-prim.
  • You probably cannot play them directly through the music stream.
  • You probably can play them on a web-world.
  • You might want to make the web-world look like a set from the show.
  • But you should check on intellectual property rights first.
