3D Collaborative World In Development
Imagine a future where you have instant access to all data you
need, in a worldwide collaborative environment, where tools can developed
independently but still cooperate as a single application. The Uni-Verse project started at Feb 1, 2004 with 1.9 Million Euro in funding from the European Commission. The purpose is to create an open source Internet platform for multi-user, interactive, distributed, high-quality 3D-graphics and audio for home, public and personal use. The platform will support high-quality 3D-graphics as well as high-quality 3D-audio and acoustic simulation.
