[Opensim-users] Windows 8.1 tablet experience?

[Dr Ramesh Ramloll]

Hello,
Definitely the interest to see platforms like Second Life or Opensim on
tablets is so strong that not satisfying this need will have dire and
irrecoverable consequences. Am not sure whether the community realize the
importance of having a device agnostic platform ... but I don't see much
happening in this space. I even tried contacting developers of Lumiya and
got no response. While unity 3D is galloping to introduce the deep
collaborative features that it lacks when compared to opensim, I believe
that goal is well within their reach in the near term. And both developers
and clients are pressuring opensim content developers like myself to shift
platform. I am only holding on one thread of defense ...at this time by
pointing them to Microsoft Surface Pro http://youtu.be/GdS7eX9pzL0 (see
video ... not the best experience but better than Lumiya at this stage)
And opensim / SL does work but at lower FPS. So may be use this weak
defense to placate a little all these requests to make opensim environments
on tablet. Keeping in mind that most people use Android or iOS.
