Content Injection for Opensim: Green Phosphur

I have not had a chance to mess around with this Glasshouse software yet, but the idea of it is great. To be able to create content outside of a virtual world platform and then deliver it on-the-fly. They have kindly posted the scripts and code here as well as the info on how the Content Injection Control Protocols(CICP) all works.   Glasshouse is focused on data visualization, but once you can control prims I assume you can make anything.

One great use of this type of system would be to create builds from architectural plans. Probably it would need to be simplified in order to be useful. For more industrial uses there is of course already Collada, but so far not a import Collada to OpenSim/SL (as far as I know....) Wouldn['t it be useful to  be able to actually put your house on Googlemap and then walk inside it in a virtual environment. Or likewise with a visit to Stonehenge?

We have been working on bots that can take content from OpenSim and bring it over to SL. We have been working with the Libomv libraries, but actually it looks painfully slow and unstable to bring an entire sim worth of content to SL. To bring stuff into OpenSIm however is very straight-forward as the OAR file upload works fine. Maybe one day there will even been an API for this and more granular control on Region Libraries.
