Daden公司和飞行跟踪专业服务网络fboweb.com联合开发了一项创新的虚拟显示技术, 用户可以在虚拟环境中走到飞机所在的位置并可通过点击虚拟飞机获取及时的飞行数据.

下面是一段youtube视频: 在第二人生虚拟世界中, 以洛杉矶城为例, 你可以查看机场附近的飞机(小的模型)并可通过点击飞机获取实时的飞行数据. 每一架飞机显示的是它的实际飞行号, 位置和海拔高度. 不过由于FAA安全原因飞行数据比实际晚了5分钟.

[5:24] Corro Moseley: the plane height is based on reported altitude - that one that’s buried must be rporting 0 ft!
[5:24] Corro Moseley: touch it and it reports its real height - but height is ot scale

[5:24] Infopoint owned by Corro Moseley gave you ‘Aircraft Tracking in SL’ ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/Daden%20Prime/212/179/26 ).
[5:24] Corro Moseley: 33600 ft, coming in from memphis
[5:25] AC Watanabe: airtraffic controllers should have 3d interfaces like this !
[5:25] Corro Moseley: it refreshes 5 times then stops to keep the HHTP request rate doen

[5:30] AC Watanabe: SL’s great for meetings and training
[5:30] AC Watanabe: but do you see other uses?
[5:31] FlyKnifeModelsDream Oh is Online
[5:31] Corro Moseley: yes, for shared visualisations like this for a start - whilst you can do stuff like this on dedicated PC apps this lets you develop faster, and share and also just relate to data in different ways
[5:32] Corro Moseley: one thing we’re working on for SGI is avatar co-location instead of airplane co-location
[5:32] Corro Moseley: so when David Wortley goes into the real SGI building, his avatar walks into the SL one
[5:33] AC Watanabe: he should have an RFID chip in him
[5:33] Corro Moseley: like Kevin Warwick - he’s got some seriously wild ideas about how he could use SL!
[5:33] AC Watanabe: my dog has a chip
[5:33] Corro Moseley: ah - dog tracking in SL.
[5:34] You: hehe..
[5:34] AC Watanabe: It would be good if SL could integate somehow with adobe connect
[5:35] Corro Moseley: ?
[5:35] AC Watanabe: Slideshows in SL for presentations are not great
[5:35] AC Watanabe: http://www.adobe.com/products/connect/
[5:35] AC Watanabe: used to be Breeze
[5:36] Corro Moseley: yes, heard of that
[5:36] AC Watanabe: great for 2D meetings
[5:36] Corro Moseley: its back to the whole HTML on a prim thing we were talking about earlier
[5:37] Corro Moseley: hey, i got to go and get some lunch, feel free to chat and look around, but I might slump!
