iDP-Voyager


 

Overview

The iDP-Voyager (a.k.a. iDP-Educator)is a redesign of the iDP, adding new features due to changes in LSL, and  based on feedback from Daniel Voyager (a SL Mentor).  

 

The design of this object has been completed, and copies are available at this XstreetSL page.

 

Interactivity

Drag a copy of the panel onto the ground nearby, and the panel rotates to face the owner.  Images of SL locations are displayed, advancing automatically by default. When any particular image is displayed, a Second Life user can click on the panel to receive a notecard with information about the SL location depicted in the image, along with a landmark or two. Combining the self-serve delivery of notecards with particular images allows an instructor (or Mentor) to provide a selection of content to users.

 

Notecards and images can be prepared by the panel's owner.  Once a basic content set is developed, that version will be made available.  Each notecard should contain information that is specific to the location seen in the image, and be named similarly to the image(s) it accompanies.  Work has begun on an Educators Content Set, also.

 

Features

 

* Notecards must be named similarly to image items they accompany.  Example

first image name:          Help Island (Public) 1

second image name:     Help Island (Public) 2

notecard name:             Help Island (Public)

Assigning the notecard name is more important, because that will appear in the user's Inventory.

 

Images should have an aspect ration of 4:3 (such as 400 pixels wide, 300 pixels tall)

 

DISCLAIMER: The manufacturer makes no claims to greater ease than simply DRAGGING TEXTURES/SNAPSHOTS ONTO A PRIM. 

Results depend on the regular care and feeding of this object.  

Mileage may vary.

 

Preference settings:

These variables can be set by modifying the script.
