Basal Omni-Presence

There are three videos depicting the BOPSpace hosting environment available for download(additional descriptions are available ). For people who have or willing to learn how to install Squeak 3.8, there’s a pre-alpha image file there which you can drop into your Squeak installation and become a virtual property owner! It is pre-alpha but reasonably stable with regard to the things shown in the videos and How-To pages. I’ve had BOP spaces running continually with no crashes for days at a time on low-end hardware(iMac 266mHz, 160M RAM).

No support is available at the moment and there will be lots of frequent changes going forward.

In the sidebar of this page you’ll find links to pages which provide illustrated tours of how to do various things with BOPSpace.

In the upper left portion of the screen there is a 3D scene with flat images as avatars. This is the root space named funkoffice. To the right is a popped out Google Chat window running in Firefox. Below these two are iChat windows. When the movie starts, you can see me typing in the Google Chat window and when I hit return, what I type is shown in the 3D world as well as the iChat window. On another computer a Google Chat session is open and this is seen there as well. On yet another computer 3D window is open and it shows the identical activity. Next up Croquet and Second Life.
