[Opensim-users] 0x10c emulation and I/O on a prim question

[Rick Anderson]

I've been thinking about what you said a little more closely.

Would it be possible to use a Notecard as an HTTP object that could be
displayed by WebKit for MOAP? That would allow for an in world object
to contain HTML/CSS/Javacsript and at decent interaction speeds.

With some kind of prim message passing,  chat channel,  and
lslhttprequest communication. It could potentially be integrated into
normal interaction modes for OpenSIm.

Could enable much nicer interaction in HUD etc.
