One of the major inconveniences that are precluding the adoption of Opensim (and Second Life) based virtual world technology has been the impossibility to visit these virtual worlds using the browser. People are used to seeing everything inside a browser, and are even willing, in some cases, to download a plugin, but in general get discouraged when they have to download a whole new client, learn a new and complicated interface, etc.

That's why I got very excited when I found a reference, in Jeanricard Broek's blog, to a new release of 3Di's viewer-in-the-browser plugin, called  3Di OpenViewer. I googled for "3Di OpenViewer", and I found a fantastic tutorial by Zaki; in some minutes, I was running the viewer inside Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and I was logging in to my own grid, Condensation Land!
