2017 WW: One limit established in my Cybalounge web-world: 8-12 web-pages

One limit established in my Cybalounge web-world:
8-12 web-pages
A web world gets enough memory from the Chrome browser to load about 8-12 web pages, depending on how big the pages are.  That is quite enough to support multiple web-walk presentations, if not all are loaded at the same time.

  • The posters are web pages.
  • The visitor can click on one and get an inworld inset to read.

Use-testing starts to set load limits in Cybalounge.

  • In my world I put out a number of panels showing web-pages.  
  • Building in Cybalounge HTML page prim: Put the web in your web-world
  • I found that the world got erratic on editing at around 10-12 pages.  
  • Dieter (the designer) found that I had run out of space.
  • (The browser sets a space limit on a page.)
  • These are pages from my blog and each has several images.
  • Smaller pages would probably allow more pages.  
  • But this gives an idea of the limit for displaying web pages in this way.
  • The total now is 9 posters (counting my Bulletin Board at the entry point).
  • There is also a video panel, but that probably does not use much memory.
  • Cybalounge now has a better way to bring web pages into its web-worlds.
  • Another tutorial about that coming soon.

     Convenient video capture in Windows 10

          The web show: a magazine from the virtual worlds
          Plan for developing a magazine show about the people of the Web.  Objectives, concept, content, sources, initial publication, call for editors and contributors.

          The name will change

          Objectives

          • Promote virtual worlds to people who have not found out about them yet.
          • Promote web-worlds to ad agencies as a marketing tool they may want to offer.

          What is it? 

          • Concept for a magazine (a collection of videos) about virtual worlds.  
          • Theme: Living on the web: what people do on the web.  
          • Content:  Mostly short videos (3 to 5 minutes) done in virtual worlds (or web-worlds).
          • Subjects: Activities of people using virtual worlds for common activities.
          • Common: activities in the physical world, thus of interest to web readers.
          • Publication: Initially on my blog.   It will move elsewhere when it can sell ads.
          • (The license on my blog encourages redistribution.)
          • Managing editor: initially Selby Evans (that is I). 
          • I will give all rights to anyone I think will develop the magazine.
