DynamicArt is a dynamic photo frame for your wall. Never a dull moment with this amazing ever changing frame with pictures. It uses the billions images of Flickr.com as it's resource. You can search for a TAG (keyword) and it will get the most possible interesting pictures (what flickr calls interestingness) of that tag. Then it randomizes the pictures in SL and displays it at a given time you specify in the media object of SL that uses quicktime.
Your can also search for people's pictures like people_IrenaS as tag.
(just put people_ in front of it).
Setup
1. Rez the object, make sure you can set media settings on a parcel or deed it to a group
2. Click the frame or picture and hit search in the menu. Now type for example: sunset [enter].
3. The script will contact the WestLab servers and will come back to sl with the pictures for you.
4. Use URL see the url of the current pictue and to link back to the original flickr image as stated in their rules if you want to use it.
5. Use Time in the menu to set the pauze time between each picture. Use 0 for still image.
Know issues:
- Quicktime player causes lag when loading, this is PURE client side and will be fixed soon by Apple i hope.
- This system uses 3 different services: SL, Flickr, WestLabs so if it does not work please consider that it might be something different then the DynamicArt itself and it will be fixed as soon as possible.
- People can't see anything (update quicktime) can't find their media player in SL (put it on in Preferences) or use linux (as long as you use the Gstreamer plugins fot Totem you shouldn't have any problem using the video content in Second Life..)
Have fun with this product!!! I still enjoy it myself just randomly searching for tags....
