Projects

OpenSimulator

OpenSimulator is a Second Life-compatible open source region simulator. Its companion project, OpenGridServices, provides the infrastructure for setting up a grid of simulators.

Second Life Viewer

Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by a total of 6,642,422 people from around the globe. Linden Lab is making the source code for the Second Life Viewer available to ... [More] everyone. Talented developers from around the world will be able to collaborate with Linden Lab to refine and enhance the experience for all residents of Second Life. [Less]

OpenMetaverse

The OpenMetaverse project is a collection of building blocks to construct the next generation of virtual world platforms on. Born out of the libsecondlife project, it contains a reimplementation of the Linden Lab Second Life protocol, and will host future metaverse implementations and enhancements as well as examples and documentation.

OpenViewer

OpenViewer is a Second Life-compatible virtual world client.

Metaverse Exchange Protocol

Metaverse Exchange Protocol (MXP) is a second generation virtual environment protocol specification. MXP has a coherent theoretical model (Bubble Cloud) for networked virtual environments and proposes a working engineering solution. NVEs are in this context systems with multiple thin clients and ... [More] servers simulating single seamless virtual environment. All parties are upkeeping local partial scene graphs which are synchronized using metaverse exchange protocol. MXP concentrates on messages required for the defined 3d simulation model. Official IRC channel is #mxp at freenode.org. [Less]

realXtend Modules

ModRex is a set of OpenSim-compatible modules to bring the realXtend client functionality to OpenSim without the need for a seperate dedicated server.

Snowglobe

Snowglobe was an open source Second Life-compatible viewer, built jointly by the open source community and Linden Lab. The project has been discontinued in favor of the Second Life Viewer project, which unifies the internal development by Linden Lab and contributions by the open source community.

Imprudence

Open-source viewer for connecting to Linden Lab's Second Life world or compatible worlds running on OpenSimulator.

Radegast

Radegast is a light weight client for connecting to Second Life and Open Simulator virtual worlds.

METAbolt

METAbolt is like a "messenger type application" with lots of built in virtual world features so that one cannot only carry out communications but also be able to perform most of the important tasks required in a virtual world. METAbolt is light weight and cross grid. With a single ... [More] click, it is possible to run multiple instances. METAbolt is primarily developed for Second Life but it can also be used on any grid based on OpenSIM. [Less]
