HOW TO: WORKOUT Positioner

Every day Monday through Friday we have WORKOUT at the Club to dance and talk in a circle. I started WORKOUT in 2008 at the old Not Too Hot Club and it was a popular event. At that time we used 16 pose balls arranged in a circle. To join the WORKOUT all a person had to do was sit on a pose ball and accept the dance HUD invitation from the leader. When there were fewer than 16 people that meant that ugly pose balls were left hanging in the air.

To solve this I made a 16 Dancer Positioner using the Hironics MPC system. The Positioner is in the Bar XPOSE and can be rezzed either on the floor to the left of the bar or the right using the XPOSE menu.


Here I am with the rezzed Positioner. See it as the partly transparent circle on the floor subtly inscribed '16 Dance Positioner.'


To use it just sit on the circle. As soon as you do you are positioned at the first location on the circle called Seat 1.


If you click on the circle again, you can change seats or adjust your z-direction height. Here is a picture from today's WORKOUT with Toffee, Ili, Thal and me dancing in our Christmas outfits.


Ili is leading the dancing in this photo and we are perfectly lined up over one quadrant of the circle.

When you are finished using the 16 Dancer Positioner, just use the Stop button in the Bar XPOSE to remove it. If you would like a 16 Dancer Positioner, let me know.
