Still a pretty big file (45MB) but it runs OK.

Sensitive to what else is happening on the computer (I am pushing the limits of slow and smooth) so there is an occasional hitch – better in Safari than Firefox. Can’t have that when it is 30 feet in diameter, 2K X 2K pixels or bigger! But not bad on the web.

I suspect the high resolution of the photo texture, plus the orbit, will choke in a web version. But I’ll try and let you know.

Thats very cool and very neat
Have you tried it as a web plugin? The network functions generally still work too to go and get data

I have also been playing with hemispheres and spheres, towards RW dome projection. Unity is great for this. Check this Unity app (universal binary for Mac):

Warning – it is a big download (58MB) and you will need an internet connection when you run it to get the orbital simulation XML that it pulls from my site. Equirectangular photo inside the sphere, simulation + camera on a track. Cheers!

I wonder if people playing primtionary will have to be given viewer-related handicaps?

Ah yes they worked, I did a lot with media parcels way back. I was surprised the first time when I saw our javascript time updating on a page I thought was screen scraped.
We had some problems with flash that was dynamically generating things (the wimbledon web scoreboard) back in quick time land, and then by the time we had web page parcels it was done a different way.
You would think that whilst pictionary is great SL is the greatest rapidough set you could ask for
