Blindfold

 

Overview

The GEL RLV Blindfold collection includes blindfolds designed for every taste-from high tech (Leela) to conventional (Classic Linen).

 

Each Blindfold contains:

1) Context sensitive Owner and Options menus

2) RLV Configurable options (Inventory, Touch and Teleport related)

3) A full internet-accessible HELP system (no mor Instruction notecards)

4) An Owner HUD (allows selection and interaction with several subs via remote control)

5) Storage and copying of your device settings from one GEL device to the next via a free real-world database (Toggleable)

6) Integration of all your GEL devices curently worn (Owner and RLV options-separately configurable) 

7) Free lifetime updates

 

Unlike other blindolds the RLV Blindfold does not rely on a separate HUD (although one IS provided if the user is not using windlight settings or your viewer does not fully implement RLV Windlight controls).

 

Rendering the user sightless is accomplished via windlight settings. (Requires that the user have graphics set to at least Midlevel). Using Windlight prevents the need for a clumsy separate HUD and requisite lag cause by the blindfold communicating with the HUD device (an integrated HUD is included for users for whom RLV Windlight integration is not complete).

 

The device is accessible via clicking, via the command channel, or via a HUD (provided separately).

Command channel access uses the device channel, the initials of the user and the device name e.g. /3grblindfold

RLV

The device is fully RLV enabled.

 

In order to use RLV, the wearer must FIRST go into the RLV option and turn "RLV ON" this will expose the RLV options so that others may use them. Once you've enabled this option --there is NO taking it back short of resetting the device--so be warned!

a) Control of Teleporting options

b) Control of Inventory

c) Control of World options including World Map, Minimap, Show Location, Show Name, and DIsplay of HoverText

 

Once RLV is turned on, the wearer cannot access the RLV menu UNLESS access has been GRANTED by another owner.

 

The RLV Menu is context sensitive based on owner status. Display of this option is based on the following conditions:

      If the user is another owner

 

OPTIONS

The Options Menu allows control over:

a) Hover Text-toggle on/off the Hover Text as well as what text is displayed.

b) Timer: Toggle on/off the timer as well as the length of the time the device will remain locked.

Access to the menu is dictated in the following manner:

      If there is an owner on the device (other than the wearer)

If there are other owners on the device, the wearer will ONLY be able to control the channel

 

c) Blindfold level: Slight, Blurred, Total: Utiizing windlight settings the user's view is increasingly limited. This setting is context sensitive. If the device is LOCKED OR if you are not the only user on the device, the wearer will not have access to these settings.
