VLOI Your Personal Lodge of Instruction
Traditionally ritual is practiced either at a formal Lodge of Instruction, or informally outside of meeting hours,
Advances in web technology, and the wide availability of fast access to the Internet, have made possible home and remote learning.
VLOI is an on-line web application, no downloads, no install, no fuss, just connect, you are ready to go – free.
VLOI Overview
Using the VLOI dashboard you set up a ritual by first placing the participants and furniture in their starting positions then animating them to enact the Ritual and Rubric. This includes moving around, performing actions, and talking using text-to-speech.
For obvious reasons, no real ritual is supplied. That is created by you in the privacy of your own home.
A series of Videos is in preparation designed to take you through the use of the Dashboard and building a set of generic Pseudo-Rituals to show how they are built, executed and maintained.
Orders Supported
When first run the dashboard is set for the Craft.
Other orders are then available to add as required. The reason for not showcasing them is so as to not to spoil the experience of joining a new order,
Each order has it own layout, furniture, badges and colour scheme.
Currently you can add the Holy Royal Arch. Other orders will be made available over time.
In the pipeline we have layouts for MMM, RAM, ARK, RSM, KT, KM, MOA, MOKAG, PP, Acon
VLOI-Cloud
VLOI-RT by default stores its’ data in the Browser IndexedDB. this mean you must use the same device and browser to store and access Ritual Data.
If you want to be able to access your stored Ritual from any device, and any Browser, then you can store you data in our Cloud Database – VLOI-Cloud.
You are able to move Rituals between Local Storage and Cloud Storage.
VLOI-Cloud is available by subscription
VLOI – In Development
In developmemt is the ability to hold Virtual Meetings between a Leader and several Participants. The meeting is conducted over Zoom (or other patform) supported by a separate VLOI lin.
The scenario is that the Leader sets up the Vlirtual LOI, sends the Zoom and VLOI connection details by-e-Mail to the participants. Leader opens the meeting, particpants join, and you are ready to go.
What not use screen share? It can be done that way but once the meeting is over, all inforation is lost to the participants. Using the VLOI connection the ceremony is transferred to the participants. After the meeting the participants can continue practicing on theri own device.
This will be a subscription service, probably per-meeting, because a third-party app is used to establish a reliable VLOI Link.
Also in development is a Voice-Only meeting , avoiding the need to use Zoom
