Google Lively - Hangout and chat in 3D
By Find2k | July 10, 2008
Hello All,
I am glad to welcome another brilliant product from Google – Lively: Hangout and chat in 3D
Welcome aboard! You’re about to embark on a chat experience in which you can communicate and express yourself using avatars in your very own space. Choose an avatar and use it to make friends and chat. Create rooms, decorate them to your liking, and make sure to invite your friends over.
There are 3 things available for you here:
1. Create
2. Communicate
3. Share
In Create you can select your avatar, change your clothing, and create your own room… well till this point every feature reminds me of Yahoo Chat…
But not anymore look at these features - You can select your avatar, change your clothing, create your own room and add furniture to your room
Explore!
Some objects are more than what they seem! You can try to find them on your own, or hover over Room Info to highlight objects that have hyperlinks, animations, or comments.
In Communicate below are some basic tips on how to express your self. But don’t take our word for it; get out there and have fun!
Chat with others: If you see another avatar in the room, it’s always nice to strike up a friendly conversation; you can chat by writing in the text field at the bottom of the viewing window. To keep track of conversation and actions in a room, click the Chat History button to pop out the chat window and keep track of what’s going on.
Perform animations
Sometimes a picture really is worth 1000 words. You can make your avatar perform different animations — like laugh, high-five another avatar, or dance — with a couple clicks of the mouse, just right-click on your avatar and select an action from the menu that appears. Add contacts: Keep track of your friends - We hope that you’ll be making friends here. If you meet a person and want to add them to your contacts, click on their avatar. A dialog will pop up and you should choose Invite Contact. This will send a pop-up invitation to the other person, who can accept or reject the contact request. Keep track of your friends, If your contacts are in a room, click the room name to join them. If a contact isn’t in Lively at the moment, their name is grayed out.
Summon your friends to join you
In Share you can Share your room, so you’ve got your room set up but you’re feeling a little lonely? The first step is to make sure your friends know your room’s URL. You can also modify your room properties; now that you’ll be having friends visit your room, check that you’ve set everything up the way you want. Decide whether you want visitors to be able to add new furniture to your room, move objects around, or if you’d prefer to keep everything left just the way you like it.
You can also Share your opinion about a room, In addition to real-time chatting, it’s easy to leave comments in a room. Now, any visitors who look at the room info will see your comments listed.
Check out Lively and don’t forget to tell us your comments and feedback.
