Sirikata

Sirikata: an open-source platform for scalable virtual worlds.
Any user can script objects in Emerson, a new language designed specifically for virtual worlds.
Sirikata is designed to scale naturally to very large worlds. Compared to other worlds (left), Sirikata's approach (middle-left) and aggregation (middle-right) are much closer to the complete scene (right).
You can upload your own meshes to open3dhub.com where they're optimized for streaming to clients and rendering.
Kataspace is a demo application that lets you join a Sirikata world directly in your browser.

What is Sirikata?

Sirikata is a BSD-licensed open source platform for virtual worlds. We aim to provide a set of open libraries and protocols anyone can use to deploy a virtual world.

Sirikata isn’t a single virtual world, it’s a platform for building virtual worlds. All the common, core components of virtual worlds are built-in — servers that simulate the world and distribute content, a graphical client, and scripting language support — allowing you to focus on creating the objects and behaviors unique to your world. These videos give a sense of what you can currently do in Sirikata worlds.

Try Sirikata

If you’re new to Sirikata, start out by trying it out: the download page will get you started with downloading, installing, and connecting to a world. If you want to learn more before running Sirikata, check out the wiki, especially the guides. Once you’re connected, you’ll probably want to try some scripting.
