2018 WW: HG: 3D Web-world on your web page: Bringing OpenSim and web-worlds together

3D web-world on your web page.   
Bringing OpenSim and 
web-worlds together  

Suggestions on how to embed a web-world on your web page.   OpenSim grids and communities may want to consider this option as a way of attracting and onboarding new people into their virtual worlds.

• Click the white circle under your choice of avatar.
• Type in your preferred nickname.
• Click the enter button.
• Press the w key to move forward, the a and d keys to move to the side.
• If there is someone to talk to, you can click the mic button to talk to them.
• I have office hours there.  Look for them after the break.

-

• Voice (and possibly some other things) may not work in some browsers.  
• We find that Chrome generally works best (to the surprise of no one).
• This should always work:  CybaLOUNGE

How do I manage these office hours?

• It is timed to be right after I eat lunch, when I would be at my computer anyway.
• It is only half an hour; if no one comes, I have other things to do on my computer.

How could educators manage such office hours?

• Schedule student counseling office hours at the same time and place.  
• Even local students can save time and gas by using the web connection.
• Or pay students in reduced tuition. to provide a welcome service.

How would this work for musical events?

• Best get several entertainers in the same web-world.
• Each entertainer meets an online fan club on a weekly schedule.
• No performance then.  Talk with the fans,  play music, get requests, sell tracks.
• You can have performances in a web-world--just like streaming to a web page.
• Web-world can have promotional posters for all the musicians. 
• Posters can carry web links.  
• The advantage you get is personal contact with your fans.
