[vos-d] Welcome to the "vos-d" mailing list

My project called VOS (Virtuality[virtual-reality] Operating System) had
planned to take the idea one step further. Rather than just reimplementing
Transfer Protocols to accomodate streaming 3d data transfer, I would replace
the entire operating system, thus gaining greater control over the low-level
hardware routines, memory management and recovery systems, interrupt
scheduling, filesystem, device drivers, and networking protocols. I had
planned to make 3d visualisations for all of these things, in fact, drawing
inspiration from various sources such as many of the analogx utilities, as
well as 'scanner' drive visualization available from steffengerlach.de

3d Webpages could still be stored in HTML format, and using the scripting
language I designed as a normal script tag, page elements could take on
whole new dimensions. 3d files could also be implanted as embeds on the
page.

The script language would allow for the creation of any primitive objects or
structures(for instance; inverse kinematic bone primitives), employing any
material or graphical effect(such as particles), and in such a way, you
could even create your 3d models 'on the fly' using only the scripting
language itself. 2d 'common controls' would also be allowable within the 3d
environment, differentiated by name/id, and would possibly have 3d
analogues.

The scripting language I designed also had events besides 'create/run'(to be
called during the creation of an object/environment or the running of the
script), for 'change' (what to do if and when the object was updated, in
realtime), 'destroy' (what to do before the object was deleted or destroyed
as in a game), 'exception' (script error handlers), 'sub'(subroutine
handlers) and 'timer'(countdown clock handlers); input triggers such as
'kb', 'mouseover', 'mouseleft', and 'mouseright'; and environmental triggers
such as 'enter', 'exit', 'get', 'drop', 'sight', 'move', 'bump', 'hit'.

I'll see if I can't recall just where the webpage I made (so long ago)
exists, and I'll put it up in a few minutes at http://www.chibitek.com/vos
