'Switch' refers to the need to modify the link by adding -loginuri switch. Viewer Features Table 1 Viewerġ Grid Access refers to what is done to enable the viewer to access various grids. These viewers are the versions released and downloaded as of October 8, 2012. I don’t have an Android phone or a tablet, so I cannot test those. Only viewers that are PC/Laptop based with a fully functional Graphic User Interface (GUI) will be listed. It will not list Second Life only Third Party Viewers or viewers that are dedicated to a specific grid. This Index will list viewers that can be used to access OpenSim and/or AuroraSim based grids and stand-alones and are not focused on any one grid. The second part is a short section for notes specific to individual viewers. I have added special notes below each table if any further explanation might be needed. First, a set of tables that lists the features and whether they are available, or what the feature's limits are. I have laid this index out in 2 distinct sections. This index will be carried on as a separate page on this site and I've added a link to the menu on the left (note, that the separate page is this page). Each viewer is the 32bit version unless otherwise noted under the Version heading. Both computers are 64bit and both are running Windows 7-64bit. One computer does duty as the server and the other as the client. Each viewer has been tested on my home setup which is a two computer LAN using Ethernet, not wireless, across a Cisco Linksys router left on default settings. But, there are a lot of features to test each time and so I am limiting things until I can fully incorporate the information. I am hoping that people will let me know of features they like so I can add them. I tried to test every feature that I am used to as well as those that I see people talking about. I installed each viewer “over top” of the previous installation so as to keep my settings. I downloaded the latest release of each viewer listed, current as of the date above. Here's Misfit's Index of Viewers.īut first, a bit of info about what I've done here. Yes, Second Life has their Third Party Viewer directory, but even that doesn't list any of the various features. Yet, it seems to me that there isn't a listing of the viewers and their features. And there's always lots of discussions about the various pro's and con's of viewers. Which is great since each of us seeks the best possible experience. Each has a little something different from the others. But not all viewers are created the same. After all, without a viewer you can't access the Metaverse at all. Viewers are just as important to the Metaverse as OpenSim or AuroraSim are.
