video. What we mainly use OpenSim for is language education with voicechat,
connecting a school in one country to a school in another country (with
different languages). So we need voice to work and Lumiya does not have
that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I know Android and iOS are used the most on tablets
now, but having a 'complete' Windows 8 computer in a tablet is something that

tablet experience?</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hello,
<DIV>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 <A
href="http://youtu.be/GdS7eX9pzL0">http://youtu.be/GdS7eX9pzL0</A> (see video
... not the best experience but better than Lumiya at this stage)</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
