I would wish everything to be as honest and open as you've described it, Merov. The problem is that the open source / TPV community has been battered around the head too much recently (by factors outside of your control, I'm sure), and when the answer to everything seems to be "No" except when it

Hi Morgaine, I'm surprised and disappointed you're reading so much into this. Personal (and irrelevant) feelings aside, my answer was motivated strictly by the following: - There is an already existing set of code with experimental results and it looks very nice indeed. - There's a chance all this

Hi Tuomas, First, thanks a lot for joining us here in Snowglobe. I've seen your video when it came out a few months ago and I was hoping to see you chime in here back then :) On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 2:31 AM, Kantonen Tuomas wrote: > The project, continuing also in 2010, is split into two parts: >

Yes, we should concentrate on a general API for plugins before adding all kinds of specialized code that could and should have been implemented through that API. More specifically regarding Kantonen's request to have "some parts of our work incorporated into the Snowglobe sources", that would just

Merov, further to Kantonen+Suzy and Lawson's posts about Snowglob extensions, once the 2.0 code merges settle down, can we please get back to the topic of client-side scripting that was rudely interrupted by the TPV debacle? It is precisely that kind of generic scriptable extension mechanism that

I'm very interested in this work ( full disclosure, IBM is one of the sponsors of the work), Moriz, I agree that today's head mounted displays are a bit bulky for widespread use. It is great foundational work, and there are some aspects that we could integrate into Snowglobe that would be useful *
