[OpenVerse] Virtual Transit

[Mark Lucas <mlucas@imagelinks.com>]

I've been stuck in the blizzard and fun filled wonder of Washington DC the last week,

Just got back to Florida and have been thinking about the transport systems.

Half the fun will be in the ride itself, think how disconcerting it would be to step

into a star trek transporter and instantaneously appear in a new environment.  I'd suggest

that the transport system doesn't immediately pop from room to room, but spends some transit

time in new travel rooms.  The Avatars that are on the bus can talk to each other, maybe

see something scrolling past the window as we are travelling to our next destination.  Maybe

 use Cruise's Avromania counter to count down the time to the next stop (vary the times

between stops).  For added realism, there could be occasional delays, maintenance problems,

maybe a train robbery or hijacking - just like real life.


Its great to see everyone starting to pitch in and help out.
