OpenSim in the Cloud?

On the Horizon is this cloud and it is getting larger, is it a storm cloud or will it as the day progresses turn out to be a fluffy white summer’s day cloud?

How will The Google Chrome OS affect this cloud?

I look at what is my workstation today, my view is one laptop and two tower’s one acting as a server and my N95 phone. My view in a few years from now will change. My workstation will be less cluttered more and more of my work will be done on  smaller and more mobile devices.

Will this be the end of the pc as we now know it?

What about a photorealistic view of 3D environment’s the Nvidia’s Reality Server 3.0 will help to do just that. Running OpenSimulator on a Reality Server sounds like a good idea why not do all the crunching and hard work in the cloud and display it all in the browser (viewer 3DI?).

Building with prims somehow pardon the pun feels a bit primitive but how do we make new designs without first building them? Recreating existing objects is one thing but new design and future buildings needs to be created in some way. As it stands right now I am very comfortable to do that in opensim for me it works well.

Building and designing in the cloud could be done with an extension, add on in the viewer like a builders tool no need for everyone to carry a toolbox.

If most if not all crunching is done in the cloud augmented reality looks like an amazing world where we could interact with objects and complex buildings on the hop. I cast my eye outside it is early in the morning a clear sky, again a hot day but wait there is a small cloud on the horizon

Have a good day all……..
