Interesting perspective of opensim, and especially mention of the need for better search. I think Crista Lopez, who came up with the hypergrid, also made an offline google-like search engine called slbrowser, and might be able to adapt her idea. Certainly Opensim has people excited because it’s more free and open to adaptation in the long run than second life, but these interfaces are far too complex still to be used on a major level. Another improvement with the arrival of video and voice will be voice commands and video tracking so that you can do everything without having to press buttons, I think with some change like that, it will be simple enough and also probably useful enough to be used for more serious purposes.
