Visiting the regions web-based viewer page is showing a window into the '3D Snapshot' region, the size of the window is determined by the performance of the users client. The window is overlayed by a translucent layer showing an opaque button labelled "Start Now!". By clicking the button, a 'CAPTCHA' field appears. Passing the 'Turing test', the translucent layer disappears and the back of an avatar inside the 3D Snapshot is shown. Simultaneously - a 'NPC' avatar 'spawned' inside the dependend simulator - at the regions Landing Point. The user can now operate the avatar. The location of in-simulator avatars can be transmitted into the '3D Snapshot', they are represented by a prim or by a textured mesh. The location of a 3D Snapshot avatar can be represented inside the simulator via NPC. Also shown is a 2D Region map utilizing JavaScript to 'teleport' to another spot. Movement control, camera control panels, the Region map and a settings menu icon are overlaying the scene - but can be folded up. The draw distance can be set manually too. Every X (24) hours a snapshot (.oar) of the current region state is created, which is then converted to a format WebGL/three.js can render. The data of avatar locations can be provided via xml-rpc/UDP. A possibility for text chat on the webpage is given - which can be relayed to the corresponding simulator region, in-world chat can be forwarded to the chat client on the website too.
