At Sun Labs' open house today, we talked to Nicole Yankelovich who's working on research project MPK20: Sun's 3D Virtual Workplace. MPK20 is available under the open source license and based on Sun's own gaming server (Darkstar) to simulate a virtual world a-la Second Life. The Silicon Valley company is also looking to open source project Darkstar. At the beginning of the year, Second Life's maker, Linden Labs, open sourced its viewer application and promised do the same for its server side application. Yankelovich also mentioned Open Croquet as another open source virtual world engine.

    Let me know when Linden decides to write a client which doesn't constantly crash, graphics which render at XBOX HD quality and provide non-lagging multi-user interaction at HALO quality. Bungy could create a high quality world which would blow away the Linden technology. I absolutely LOVE SL but really hope somebody buys the world from them and switches out the technology.

    This is a fascinating way to apply second life technology in a more business oriented way
