Could someone please explain the following terms for me ? I am fairly familiar with all kinds of abbreviations, but sometimes I just don't have a clue...
W-hat : from what I read it's a group of people, but what kind ? Political ? Community of equal minds ? HUD : I understand it's a new feature, but that's all... OK maybe I should read the WIKI first, but I thought I'd incorporate it in here. What can I do with it ? Thanks for enlightening me  _____________________
 "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." ( From Dune by Frank Herbert ). |

For more check out this post : /108/e1/67262/1.html The HUD is "Heads up Display", meaning you can attach something to your screen and make a "Status bar" (or virtually anything) that can only be seen by the person wearing it. Meaning people will be able to make card games where only you will be able to see the cards in your hand, ect. _____________________

The story behind "W-Hat" is long and... well, ask a W-Hatter some time. HUD - Heads Up Display. In SL you can now attach prims to your camera so they can only be seen by the owner. Useful for all kinds of information and control functions. _____________________
