 OpenSimulator is an open source multi-platform, multi-user 3D application server. It can be used to create a virtual environment (or world) which can be accessed through a variety of clients, on multiple protocols. It also has an optional facility (the [[Hypergrid]]) to allow users to visit other OpenSimulator installations across the web from their 'home' OpenSimulator installation.  In this way, it is the basis of a nascent distributed Metaverse.
-OpenSimulator allows virtual world developers to customize their worlds using the technologies they feel work best - we've designed the framework to be easily extensible. OpenSimulator is written in [http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-334.htm C#], running on Windows, Unix-like machines and on several plaforms on  [https://dotnet.microsoft.com/ .NET].

So only a subset of viewers for Second Life  do implement Opensimulator features, see [[Compatible Viewers]].

 OpenSimulator is getting more stable over time but is still a high complex software system that can suffer various bugs and quirks; handle with care!
