Coming to ACEC 2010? Join me in a 3D Safari!

OpenSim is an open source 3D world that is in pre-release form, yet has a growing developer base and support in the open source community. I’m re-visiting this platform after a space of several months and was fairly impressed. There were some bugs and hiccups to be sure, but not enough so far to […]

I am researching 5 different virtual worlds platforms and would appreciate your input. I already have the information I need regarding Second Life, although if you use Second Life, I’d be interested in your reasons why you chose it over other platforms.
