Presenting Blindz - They really open and close!

without comments

Blindz, my latest product is now available on SLExchange and in-world. Here is the advertisement that appears in-world and on SLExchange.

Blindz, in short, is a set of window blinds and a controller. Most window blinds available in SL use a combination of texture and transparency to simulate a window blind’s open and closed appearance.

Blindz is different. Blindz is a*one prim* window blind that actually moves to open and close. When your window is covered, it is actually covered with a prim - not just covered with a texture. When the blind is open - it is actually out of the way - not transparent. As you may know - two or more transparent things close to each other in SL cause problems like flickering and the appearance of one item in front of another (when it should be reversed).

Blindz is also unique because it was designed with security in mind from the start. Most systems use one communications channel to communicate between the window blinds and the controller (to open and close the blinds from a single location).

Using a single controller makes it possible for someone to gain control of your blinds and open them when you want them closed. As a result, someone can invade your privacy, or just prevent you from enjoying your home or office.

Blindz uses a combination of a secret, changing message and channel hopping technology to make it very difficult to take control of your Blindz. The communication channel randomly changes at random, but frequent, intervals and changes the underlying messages. Even if someone manages to figure out what communications channel Blindz uses, it will change thus wasting the attacker’s efforts.

Blindz are also very easy to place and setup. Just place your Blindz in-world and use *menus* to rotate, size, and color your Blindz! Menu options include sizing (taller, shorter, wider and narrower), rotation (left, right), and color. You can also revert your Blindz to their initial size, color, and rotation using menu commands.

Don’t be fooled by others: only Blindz is secure, and easily customizable!

SL…A developer’s playground

without comments

Imagine a programmer creating systems that move people, improve people’s lives, entertain, and make people feel secure.

Imagine delivering those systems…in boxes! In fractions of a second. And handling the financial transactions easily and securely.

Imagine buying and setting up and using those systems: a simple click of the mouse to buy, open a box, a few clicks and all set. No installation, no CDs, no downloads.

Support? Completely automated, friendly….and…..effective.

Happy customers? Absolutely!

If you can imagine this….you can imagine….
