VirtualWorlds

Virtual Worlds

• SecondLife

• Commercial, closed source

• OpenSimulator (OpenSim)

• Open source, raw, with minimal features.

• Can be accessed with SecondLife client with some extra command line params.

• The Open Source Metaverse Project

• Open source, no download package, but can get at source directly and presumably build it yourself.

• Screen shots show things as fairly flat looking, and not as 3D as SecondLife or OpenSim.

• There

• Screenshots look pretty flat and cartoony.

• Activeworlds

• Commercial, very good rendering judging from the screen shots.

• Looks like there's the option to create your own worlds.

• There is an SDK that speaks the protocol so one can make software agents external to the worlds rather than a floating wood block shooting fireworks in LSL.

• Solipsis

• Open Source, 2D and still at the very early stages of development

• Vastpark

• Commercial, but the tools are free.

• Browser and can serve your own worlds.

• ComputerLinks
