Board with Shared Media already?

I used the fact that you can put web-based Shared Media on attachments to add a board to my avatar (others have been streaming their webcam). When he rezzes one of the gene markers on the Giant TB genome, it chats its details, these are picked up by the board and the appropriate genecard with further info from BacMap is displayed. The LSL function used is llSetPrimMediaParams.

The Shared Media zoom function means that you can enlarge and centre the display quite easily provided the avatar stays fairly still. I guess it would not be hard to rez an infoscreen on the marker but this is an interesting alternative, given that space between markers can be an issue. As yet there's no filtering of cross-talk from markers activated by other avatars.

The Webkit plugin seems a little unstable but otherwise is proving interesting. I'm sure others will find more attractive modes of display.
