[Threedsia-dev] How to navigate in 3Dsia

[Lars W. <chr...@ab...>]

Hi,

Here is my idea how to navigate in 3Dsia with Mouse in keyboard:
There are two modes:
Navigate mode: You move around with your cursor keys and look around
with your mouse.

Example configuration in _navigate_ mode:
You see no mousecurser.
(Mouse1 is Mousebutton 1 etc)

up           - Move forward in the direction you are moving.
down         - Move backward ...
left         - Turn left
right        - Turn right
delete       - Strafe left
pagedown     - Strafe right

Keys a-z and return - Text that you type will be transmitted if you press
return. It will show up either in a HUD, in a display object you have
build for that or float over the heads of the people.

Mouse1    - Show information about an object in front of me in a Head Up
Display (HUD) or whatever i defined as my information-display. Will
only show "Minimal Information Profile"  (MIP) about personae(avatars)
and objects. People are not notified that they are inspected. MIP : Something
like the nickname of that persona and maybe it's email. Or nothing. What the
person likes to show. This is communication is not encrypted.

mouse2 - Manipulate/get object in front of you (if get is possible
it will bring you in interactive mode with the object hovering in front
of you)

Mouse3    - Interact mode
alt-space - Interact mode

Example configuration in _interactive_ mode:
You see the mousecurser (or a hand etc.).

If you not have an object in your "hand":

     up        - Move forward in the direction you are moving.
     down      - Move backward ...
     left      - Turn left
     right     - Turn right
     delete    - Strafe left
     paged.    - Strafe right
     Keys a-z and return - Text that you type will be transmitted if you press
     return. It will show up either in a HUD, in a display object you have
     build for that or float over the heads of the people.

     Mouse1    - a click on one of your defined objects will start a
     script or will bring you to your local storage or will start a
     macro etc.
     A click on a person are other object (touch) will show data of MIP and CIP
     (Critical Information Profile). This is something like the PGP-Key of that
     person a photo etc. This is also defined my the user. The only
     thing that is given away is the IP if the user has no information
     stored in his CIP. CIP is transmitted encrypted. The user will be
     notified that he or one of his objects has been examined!
     Objects can have owner information in it. If the creator of that
     object likes he can make it notify him or her if it is "touched" be a
     user.

     Mouse2    - a click with that button will bring up an object
     specific menu of further actions: Send object to ..., Talk
     securely to ... etc.

     Mouse3    - Navigate mode
     alt-space - Navigate mode

If you HAVE an object in your "hand":

     up        - Turn object around in +y axis
     down      - Turn object around in -y axis
     left      - Turn object left
     right     - Turn object right
     pagedown  - Zoom in
     pageup    - Zoom out
     Mouse1    - Drag object on your pocket (or whatever represents
     your quickstorage) will put the object in your quickstore.
     Drag object on another person will copy that object and will give
     the copy to that person (if the object is copyable!) Of course
     the ohter person could reject that.
     Drag object on the floor of the matrix or in free space will drop
     the object away.
     Mouse2    - a click with that button will bring up an object
     specific menu of further actions: Delete, Rename, Edit etc. Of
     coures you could also delete an object my dragging it to a dustbin
     somewhere on your screen but who wants to carry around a dustbin
     all the time?

     Mouse3    - Navigate mode
     alt-space - Navigate mode
