[Opensim-dev] On solving Authentication and such

[Mister Blue]

Definitely a +1.

If one is using a 3d system like Ogre, you could use webkit to display
on the 'overlay' surfaces (Ogre has this concept of transparent
overlays over the 3d view). Even the interface to the viewer proper
could be all web pages and AJAX goop. Then any web page -- any
interface to server, simulator, user service, status display, ... --
could be made part of the user interface by spinning up an overlay
containing that web page.

The immersion issue is a concern and any interface design should take
that into account. That doesn't mean that the existing chat client
chat window could not equivalently be implemented with HTTP/JS/CSS and
a connection to a different chat service.
