Idea for a New Forum Front End Using Unity and SciFi Assets

Tonight I was looking into maybe creating a new front end using something like this (see video below) where the database stays the same but the user interaction happens in a virtual scifi world, such as 3D Scifi Base Vol 1 which is a 3D Models/Environments in Sci-Fi for Unity.

In this model, the database and all existing website (forum style) would stay basically the same for now (and could still be used); but we would build a virtual world where each scifi room is a "forum" and there would be some kind of user interaction; combining forum Q&A with a new type of virtual environ.

I think I can program this in Unity, since I have been programming in Unity for about a year now on another project; but it would be a lot of work.

Porting to another forum is really a "non starter" because we have way too many custom plugins that are not supported and would all have to be rewritten (by Scott and I).

If I am going to write code, I prefer to write in Unity 3D and build out a virtual world that accesses the database and permits users to interact, search and display in the virtual environment, similar to what we do in the forums now. Of course, we could leave the existing forums "as is" (maybe make the HTML more responsive for mobile); but the bulk of the new work would be in Unity.

That's one thought I had today.

rmidish

RMIDISH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						RMIDISH(1)

NAME

     rmidish -- front-end to midish(1), using the readline(3) library

SYNOPSIS

     rmidish

DESCRIPTION

     The rmidish utility is a very simple front-end to midish(1) that uses the readline(3) library.  It runs midish(1) in the background, issues
     an interactive prompt and passes user commands to midish(1).  The initial purpose of rmidish was to illustrate how to use the -v option of
     midish(1) to create a front-end, but it can be run instead of midish(1) to make the later more user-friendly when used interactively.

SEE ALSO

     midish(1), readline(3)
     Midish user's manual and tutorial
     http://caoua.org/midish/

BUGS

     The midish(1) executable has to be in the same directoy as rmidish
