About RLV
A number of people have expressed concerns about using RLV or having RLV enabled in their viewer. While this has not been a large number of people, I decided to write this to address the issues they presented to me.
What is RLV?
RLV is an additional set of features that can be enabled in the Firestorm Viewer (and some others) to enhance the Realism of some roleplay experiences. It allows objects in world to send requests directly to your viewer. It was originally developed for use by the BDSM crowd but since its implementation has found a far greater audience due to the functionality it adds to the viewer.
Why would I want it?
The first reason is simple, some things will simply not function without it. The second is an example. Suppose you are exploring a beautiful garden and you touch a rose, the rose says “you unwittingly prick your finger on the rose and a small drop of blood forms. Without thinking you instinctively put the finger in your mouth”. Without RLV, no drop of blood forms and you don't move, all you see is the text. With RLV the rose would have given you a drop of blood texture, attached it to your finger and given you the proper animation and activated it. The whole scene would take on a whole new level of realism.
RLV means that other people can take control of me right?
Only if that is something you allow, and you always retain the ability to take control of yourself at anytime. Let me say that again, you must first allow it before it can happen. There are various permission and safety settings to prevent unwanted activities. But that is beyond the scope of the notecard.
Having RLV will make others think I am some sort of bondage freak right?
- Judge not lest ye be judged.
- People will think about you what they want.
- In your experiences in both RL and SL, how often have they gotten it right?
- If you are embarrassed don't tell anyone. If you don't tell them, they won't know.
