Hello both, I didn't read the whole thing at this time of the night. But i think the gist of it is how to get a web browser into the 3D world, especially into inworld objects. Basically this boils down to if you want to share this web content in real time with every one else on the server. I guess you most likely want to do this or there is little point in it all.
We implemented a while ago 3D canvases that we broke when moving from old Qt integration to the new one. What these basically did: took any QWidget and put it as a texture with working input and normal behaviour of a QWidget, just in 3D. OK, when we can do this we can put a web browser into it. I think its totally unnecessary to involve Firefox or anything like that into this. Qt has its own build in web browser that we already utilize in the web logins and in the future in the ether login space. And this is a QWidget so it can be put to a prim already out of the box, no need to do complex 3rd party browser stuff there :) As said we broke this but its coming back in the upcoming sprints (hopefully). So you can put your own widgets into 3D, I guess just for fun :) The problem with this is its local only (ludos guys correct me if im wrong). The other people on the server cant see your widget in 3D. I was in some rex meeting a while back when we bounced ideas around how to implement the sharing of this view. I'm not sure if we have any plans of this. As there are more pressing issues that needs implementing at this point. I think if you only share the view with others it might not be that hard to implement. But if you want to share control over this widget also (for interaction, playing games etc.) its going to be more tricky. And I guess then some security questions might pop up to ones mind. If you or anyone else has a solid plan how to implement this please code it :) Would be a killer feature to share web browsing in real time. But as said I dont think we have any plans for this (sharing the view over network) in the upcoming few sprints (6 weeks or so). Also haven't heard from this firefox guy after he posted the initial stuff back then, has anyone else?
