Here's what we have so far. See the Wiki for more discussion, summaries of requirements, etc. http://interreality.orcg/wiki/IdeasForCool3dWorlds Anyone have any more ideas? They can be simple, or complex. (Though simple is one thing we'll need for the first few we try doing.) They can be useful, or just fun to look at or play with. So far: Board games I heartfully suggest the notion of a gamespace. You walk in, see little stations that let you run various games, get to start a game/join one, play, keeps track of your accomplishments, etc. (Rob) Graph Visualizations Convert a file format like ?GraphViz or UML or Doxygen's XML output to A3DL Vobjects. Or hack ?GraphViz to output A3DL. If Doxygen's XML output, show VOS code structure in 3D. -Reed Weather World Represent current weather conditions at some place in 3D (by changing sky color, position of lamps which represent the sun, add/remove object like clouds and particle systems for precipitation). Include an interactive object that lets you select between currrent conditions and different forecasts for different locations. -Reed Hub World An attractive "first impression" world for VOS that also includes portals to other demo 3d worlds. This world could also contain miscellaenous demo objects that don't fit into the theme of other worlds (server-side dynamic physics objects that can be knocked around might be interesting, or showing off various 3d features a la "walktest"). If anyone else on the internets puts up a VOS server with a nice world, a portal there could be added to the hub world. -Ken Construction World A world that allows users to instantiate, place, and edit simple objects in the world space. Objects could be shared, or a user could take temporary control over a particular "sandbox" to build in. -Ken Boids A flock of fish or birds or something follows you around. Craig Reynolds' "boids" flocking algorithm is well known and has been implemented many times in different languages, should be easy to find it and adapt to VOS. -Reed _______________________________________________ vos-d mailing list [email protected] http://www.interreality.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vos-d
