[Opensim-dev] thinking about a viewer

[R.Gunther]

Afree with this, i think its just a bit to early for a viewer.
Its better if possible to adjust opensim to make it High Fidelity 
compatible.
And als use there viewer, or write one thats based on high fidelity code.
If you now write a viewer for opensim you possible have to many bandages 
needed later to adjust it for High Fidelity.
High Fidelity can give a few parts that openmsim is now missing.
