“Real Life Places in SL” HUD

Posted on November 21, 2006 by

I just finished playing with the new open-sourced TourHUD created by the Electric Sheep Company for the GSD&M ad agency.   The Tour HUD ("heads up display") is a very easy-to-use tool for creating your own custom tours of various spots in Second Life. There are already two — one for newbie-friendly areas and another of women’s shopping venues.

It took me about an hour to create one focused on my own pet-fascination: real life places simulated in Second Life. Right now the HUD takes you to the Second Life versions of Dublin, Amsterdam, Venice, Hollywood, Egypt, and Rome.  IM me in-world (Rik Riel) if you would like one to try out. Or head over to Idea City to get your own.

    Great idea, Rik. Also a fan of the RL in SL and glad to see you rolled your own HUD. Can you drop one on me?
    I really hope these HUDs take off because they’re incredibly useful right now, and I’m getting excited about seeing other people’s tours. I’m hoping some greeters will start handing out the New User Tour HUD to newbies so they can better get around and pick up the basics. It could possibly save quite a lot of pain and frustration on the “Where do I go?” side of things.
