Kirstens Viewer Update with Anaglyph 3D

Austin Tate's Blog - 2020, April 11 - 13:49

Back in 2011, Kirstens Viewer for Second Life added an Anaglyph 3D view capability which could be seen with red/cyan 3D glasses. See this blog post. It was updated to the latest Second Life features in 2017. See this further blog post.

Kirstens Viewer has now been updated by Kirstenlee Cinquetti to include Second Life capabilities such as the enhanced “bento” mesh avatar skeleton and still includes the 3D anaglyph view capability.

She has now updated her Second Life viewer to use the very latest Linden Lab viewer code and includes experimental or =development features such as Legacy Profiles, Environmental Enhancements, etc.

Toggle the 3D anaglyph viewer on or off via Preferences – S22 Features…

Issues

Is it possible that after 3D anaglyph mode is toggled on and you stop and restart the viewer it does not enter Second Life? I tried a few times and it would not enter Second Life each time. I toggled 3D anaglyph off in Preferences – S22 Features before logging in and that then worked. May be just me? It looks like this when it sticks…

Kitely Organizations

Austin Tate's Blog - 2020, April 10 - 09:24

Kitely Organizations are a way to create a virtual grid inside the OpenSimulator-based Kitely grid. It allows groups to create and manage their own users, with control over which regions they can visit and what they can do in-world. A Kitely Organization provides administrative capabilities that enable the management of groups of users and worlds under the organization’s control. Kitely’s Organizations are designed for companies, educators, roleplaying groups, etc.

See https://www.kitely.com/virtual-world-news/2019/01/11/introducing-organizations-virtual-grids/ for more details.

Organizations can have two types of users:

  1. Managed Users – users that are created by the Organization. The Organization Admins have full control over these users. Managed Users can’t login to the main Kitely website.
  2. Independent Users – regular Kitely users who have agreed to join the Organization. The Admins only control what Independent Users do when they’re visiting the Organization’s worlds. However, the Admins can’t control what Independent Users do outside the Organization.

When Managed users are invited to join in, they are given this link…
https://kitely.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/doc/pages/600965183/Setup+Kitely

This allows the Firestorm viewer to be installed, if it is not already present, an initial avatar to be selected, and the Organization’s grid details and avatar username to be added to make entry easier for new users.

The grid LoginURI is of the form grid.organizationname.kitely.net:8002

RGU Neosome Kitely Organization


Kitely Virtual Worlds on Demand™

Kitely uses a mechanism of loading virtual world’s “on demand” so they use less server resources when not in use… if the world or region is not online when the first user arrives, their avatar appears at a Kitely Transfer Station” for a minute or so until the region is loaded, at which time the avatar is automatically teleported into that world.

VR Throw Lab by Cloud Fine

Asset Store newest packages - 2020, April 9 - 14:53
Getting throwing mechanics to feel just right in VR can be tricky, especially if you’re asking the user to throw far and/or accurately. What feels right to the user is going to depend on tasks you’re asking them to perform, the hardware they’re physically holding, and their expectation of how thrown objects should behave in your virtual world.

VR Throw Lab is a collection of tools that can be used to create the throwing mechanics that are right for your VR game. It will help maintain a consistent experience across platforms by allowing you to specify a configuration for each for each device you support.

For ease of use, the lab environment is designed to be used while in the headset so you can tune values without taking the headset on and off.

Key Features
Automatic Device Detection
Velocity Smoothing
Velocity Scaling
Grab/Release Threshold Adjustment
Aim Assistance
Release Friction
