Get a new perspective on SL, literally!

SL's default camera sits high in the air above your avatar, several metres in fact! This removes you, the SL user, from the immersion you would get if your camera was closer to your avatar's eye level. This also causes a lot of problems for builders, as the camera sitting so high up makes ceilings under 3-4metres a problem. This, in turn, contributes to people building huge double or triple scale buildings, and makes SL appear a lot smaller than it actually is.

This HUDis intended as a quick way to preview my improved camera settings. If you like the new view, you can then follow the instructions over on my blog and change the camera settings right in the viewer itself, no HUD necessary!

If you enjoy the new camera placement and agree this would benefit SL greatly, be sure to head over to the SL Jira and vote for it!

You are a genius. Now I feel like I am IN the room, rather than some godlike being observing the ants from above.

Simple ... yet BRILLIANT! One of the best little gadgets i've ever had the pleasure of buying (Well, I say buying ... it's FREE - how cool is that?!)
It takes a moment to get used to the new (correct!) perspective but it really does rock!

Interesting idea, only thing was I found the bouncy camera movement annoying, found myself going into mouselook often.
