[vos-d] development status

[chris]

Hi, just a few comments on other status that may interest.
I have been testing tcp/ip networking with an implementation of the network
sensor nodes in Flux. I have been able to get the basic test examples to
work with two linux servers. An example of the nodes is given below. For the
mass avatar event at siggraph I will be working on modifying the
communications for UDP.

This raises the possibility of testing vos server with these nodes if ur
inteterested.

A description of the test examples and MM server is at
http://www.mediamachines.com/hydra/
my experience with installing / running the server is at:
http://planet-earth.org/smam/fluxServerInstallRun.html
tho u would be wanting to run your own vos server.

I am also running a 2 hr multisuer virtual world BOF at siggraph (August) so
if you want me to demo vos let me know. I would want something that would
not require old browser versions, old java etc if possible because I need to
be able to demo other stuff with current tech as well.

cheers,

chris
