Project name: Anqi ("Wuxia secret weapon" - from Uncovering Wuxia Jargon)

Objective

HUD == Heads-Up Display

The Jianghu HUD is proposed as an interactive heads-up display for use support of foreign language instruction in Second Life. Users interact with the object, and - through it - interact with the space being visited.

HUD design from a learner's perspective

An interactive, heads-up display should be

lightweight (compact and portable), yet robust
easy to use, yet multipurposed
pedagogically appropriate, yet engaging
thorough and complete, yet extensible

Interactivity

Basic object interactions, from a programming perspective:

HUD responds when:

user clicks on an object in world (original GCCAz version, Calisto's HUD)
user clicks HUD (think of other HUDs you have)
user enters word in public chat
nearby avatar enters word in public chat
teacher issues command via chat (remote channel), OR via a Master HUD* (synchronous application)
object issues command (synchronous OR asynchronous)

What could a Teacher's HUD be used for?

(What if - during the Tea House role play lesson format - the waiter/waitress had a HUD?)

Also: along with playing sounds for its owner, a HUD can...

communicate with objects, avatars, even other HUDs;
write text to Public Chat window
write text privately to owner in Chat window
display floating text (as in Calisto's HUD)
display an image (texture)
