[Opensim-users] how to make objects visible only to select avies

[Dr Ramesh Ramloll]

Lindy,
:) yes I concur as I went through similar thought process. Everything
you mentioned can of course can be implemented through HUDs but that
kind of break flow in world and critical context in world. I realize
it is one of those things that is difficult to get across unless one
experiences them during the private ideation processes. My take is
that it will perhaps never be implemented as I realize that to achieve
that will require deep changes in code.
