The New World is 3D Virtual World built on OpenSim OpenSource technology ! Come and join us !

Create your own OSURLs now !

Crackou and I were discussing about how we could set opensim:// links that could be handled by our OpenSim Launcher to teleport directly to an OpenSim grid location, as SLURLs do for Second Life. Then, we opened osurl.org to create location-based links with ease with http:// links. Many wiki and instant message software for example don’t present opensim:// links as real links what is annoying as you have copy paste in your browser.

Creating an OSURL will open your browser and display the osurl.org website with “Teleport Now!” button and an opensim:// link that will work only if OpenSim Launcher is installed. In the future, there will be an OpenSim Viewer based on the Linden open source client and it will handle opensim:// protocol handler. Thanks Mana Janus !

We also plan to implement world maps on osurl.org as SLURL have.

For example, you can create both OSURL links or opensim:// links depending on your preferences and platform…

Teleport on the path on Welcome region (New World Grid) :

Any feedback and feature requests are welcome !

Have fun !
