HUDs... What are they?


If you've spent any fair amount of time in SL you've probably hear someone talk about or seen signs selling HUDs. They are typically additional buttons that provide you with features that do not exist (or are hard to get to) in the original UI. We'll use gestures for an example. Say you went to a show and you enjoyed it. you'd want to clap at the end of it. You can do this already by typing /clap in the textbox... but thats time consuming. Another way is to use the gestures drop-down, but again, takes too much time. With a HUD you can have a button in your window to clap when the show is done, Neat! For beginners I'd suggest SL New User Learning Tour HUD! A great way to Learn SL!!!
