Hack’s Haven

Maya Realities is happy to announce a new $L1 Second Life analytics solution. This proximity sensor collects basic information about a land parcel and is perfect for those groups not ready to take the plunge into our premium services. The information collected includes the number of unique avatars visiting, total time spent on a land parcel, and average time spent per avatar.

If you decide to splurge a whole Linden, head over to our in-world shop, or your favorite virtual super-store and pick up a sensor! Next, perform the following steps to insure its success:

1. Rez the sensor and set the ownership of the sensor to the same as the land parcel. This prevents the collection of unauthorized data. Edit the sensor, and the ownership is shown on the first panel.
2. Set the description field to a number between 5 and 96, which represents the range of the sensor in meters. The default is 30 meters. By using a short range, you will have more accurate statistics in a given area. Avatars located on land parcels that you don’t own will not be monitored.
3. To view your statistics, just touch the sensor. Make sure your active group is the same as the sensor’s group.

Maya Realities will never divulge your personally identifiable information to third parties. If you are interested in learning more or about our premium services, please visit our in-world office at the SLURL below:
