The recommended viewer to access Openvue and other openSimulator-based virtual worlds is Firestorm. The latest OpenSim Version should be used. It can also be used to access Second Life but some advanced physics capabilities will not be available. See below. A Step-by-Step Guide (PDF format) written by Crista Lopes of UCI is available.
After installation, run Firestorm and go to Viewer -> Preferences -> OpenSim tab. In "Add New Grid" enter the loginuri as follows and hit "Apply".
http://virtual.aiai.ed.ac.uk:8002/You can then select "Openvue" in the "Log into Grid" drop down menu in the viewer.
Instructions to allow Abobe Flash content (e.g. for YouTube videos) to be displayed in OpenSimulator are here.
You can use any open source "Third Party Viewer" derived from the core of the main Linden Lab viewer (open source under LGPL licence) to access Opensim grids so long as it does not make use of the commercial licenced library. Examples are Singularity Viewer, Cool Viewer and Kirstens Viewer (inclduing Anaglyph 3D). Most provide easier configuration for access to alternative grids, and can still be used to access Second Life.
You cannot use the Linden Labs standard Second Life viewer to access OpenSimulator-based virtual worlds, since it contains a commercially licenced library for advanced physics computations.
