Video integration
July 15, 2008 – 9:27 pmI’ve seen examples of video clips used in-world to explain things going on, or provide “how-to” type tutorials. I could see this working if the clip was of an avatar, or if it included a narrator that was proportional to the viewer/avatar’s size. I suggest these options because I want to be careful not to over-extend the idea/use of video and include too much video, or clips that would make the experience one where someone could react by thinking “I could have watched that on a web page.” In short I want to be sure I stay true to the vision and be sure there is a reason this experience is created in SL. In someways these fits back into the argument against a HUD for this project as well. I plan for the experience to be IN SL, not simply on the screen in the SL client.
