The OpenSimulator Project is a BSD Licensed Virtual Worlds Server which can be used for creating and deploying 3D Virtual Environments. It has been developed by several developers. Out of the box, the OpenSim can be used to create a Second Life(tm) like environment, able to run in a standalone mode or connected to other OpenSim instances through built in grid technology. It can also easily be extended to produce more specialized 3D interactive applications.
OpenSim is written in C#, and can run under Mono or the Microsoft .NET runtimes. Due to its open source and modular nature it is possible to extend function yourself via plugin modules to suit your application.
OpenSim is currently in the alpha development stage, with active testing of SVN trunk versions encouraged. Please read our Contributions Policy before contributing, and to learn what OpenSim's values are.
