Researchers from IBM and Linden Lab® gathered in an experimental area of the 3D virtual world, Second Life. Together they prepared to teleport outside Second Life to another virtual world, called OpenSim. It was a journey no avatar had taken before. Distributed by Tubemogul.

  • wow SL has come a very long way. Everything is much better and now we dont have to pick a stupid last name. I hated that soo much...Thanks LL for making our SL experience alot better! But if you are one of the ones who came in with the last name (my 1st av did) be happy your one of the origanls and can always say you no more than those stupid noobs who think they are sooo awsome with their free bling and penguin walks

  • @Fireboy0 You start out as a cloud when you are loading...you can look around some places that may hav an avatar that looks like that...Best place to look would be grendals...Or somehting like that...They have alot of freebies for noobs and such

  • I wrote an article post on "How to Build Your Own Virtual World" using the Diva Distribution Standalone Hypergrid version of Opensim. It gives detailed instructions for setting up on a Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 and can be found at rocketvirtual

  • wtf?

  • @rpurser98 There sure is. You can join an existing opensim grid or download it and host it on your own computer. Just Google.

  • is there a windows version of Opensim?

  • What a pity that two years after this video, Linden Lab dropped all efforts of continuing to develop interoperability...
