I just was thinking about something like this while doing the dishes (I always get some good thinking done while doing chores) -- Just like HyperVOS lets you access VObject content through HTTP, couldn't there be an omnivos plugin that lets you access VObject/A3DL content via SWMP? Obviously this would require a robust X3D conversion mechanism, but such a plugin would allow a virtual world accessible by both SWMP and VIP clients, and the avatars using the different systems could even see each other and interact. Though some features might only be usable over VIP (such as editing VObjects... I'm guessing SWMP doesn't have a mechanism for modifying content in the world. But it may, and that'd be pretty cool!). -Ken _______________________________________________ vos-d mailing list vos-d@interreality.org http://www.interreality.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vos-d
