AltspaceVR: Open a page in a private browser

Open stevenvergenz opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

One significant feature that is missing from the MRE SDK that the old Altspace SDK had is the ability to open a web page for a particular user. This could be implemented in the altspacevr-extras package as an RPC message.

I don't think this should be using a regular RPC message to create/open it. Instead, I'd love for this to be using CreateFromLibrary - lots of usefulness comes with the browser being an actor (relative transforms, group masking, single user actors etc). We need to come up with a way to RPC message targeted to the individual actor, though

By making this a createfromlibrary, the API for private and public browsers would be identical.

There is no reason that you couldn't use the args that are passed in an RPC call to use that to target a specific actor. That should already be supported.

Synchronized browsers are a much more complicated topic. As a first immediately-useful pass, individual browsers seem easier. Plus it matches the old API.

This might be a dupe of #223 - additional ideas listed there
