[opensource-dev] USER STORY for not so far future

2010-10-21 Thread Ponzu
As a user, I want to use a multi-touch device (iPad, Android, etc) to
control Second Life.

The simple technical issue is getting the tablet to talk to the viewer.  Of
course, the hard issue is creating the insanely great multi-touch
interface.  For example, touching tablet could re-aim camera.  making little
walking motions with your fingers could make you walk.  two-finger movement
could enter mouselook and move.

I thought of this because I saw a Mac paint program (on the big screen)
where the controls such as palette, color, brush, are on an iPad.  Looked
really cool.

Not understand sorry...

This isn't a LL problem. You can already use iMouse to use your iPad,
iPhone or iPod as a multi-touch trackpad and via control panel you can
bind multi-touch gesture to keyboard shortcut...

Now that would be a great thing to document on the wiki - think you can 
write it up, Francesco?

Yes, it is a great thing, but the kind of control I imagine is not tied to
keyboard short-cuts.  At least, I don't think there is a keyboard shortcut
for sit-on-that-chair, or look-to-the-left

The background is that I think that the keyboard commands in SL were created
by a combination of gamers (wasd) and 3D software users (ctl-cmd-shift X).

I am trying to imagine what the fundamental operations are in SL, and then
what multi-touch gesture each should map too.  Think Tom Cruise in Minority
Report...

damn, still there.  Guess I'll have to pretend to click on the imaginary
button.
