Still the dawn of this new media
July 1, 2009
Watching a wonderful documentary on Shakespeare’s life and background with wife. The director of the Royal Shakespearean Theater says, more or less,
T.V. has been around for 50 years, a relatively new medium, new experience. Theater itself had only been around less than that 50 years when William was alive. Theater as a medium and concept was new, fresh, conveyed emotions still new to generations.
It got me to thinking that if 50 years seemed fresh to them, and still largely to us, what do virtual worlds hold in store for coming generations. At this 6th birthday of Second Life, really the first major virtual world experience involving, well, most of the world, it gives pause to consider.

MoPose 5.0 is now driving Yman Juran’s latest trapeze. She and her sisters use a HUD I created that captures the animations available in a given item, in this case the trapeze, and makes them available by just clicking. She has 45 animations loaded currently, the most we could fit vertically on the screen. I used a new AnimAdjustmentFinder script to quickly resolve all the offsets of different animation start positions. I will be adding a HUD to go with it making it even faster to create the animations notecard that goes with the MultiPose script inside the trapeze.
The good news is that all of this should work with OpenSim, which I need to test later. Yman has a big inauguration celebration that she and the sisters are doing although I don’t have a link at the moment.
