New World Notes: Metaverse Milestone: Interoperability Between Second Life And Open Sim Virtual Worlds

Today at around 11:00am, according to Zha Ewry, a long hoped for landmark was reached: a couple Linden Lab staffers teleported with Zha from the Second Life grid... into Open Sim, the open source spinoff of SL. They came only as avatars, without inventory or attributes, and therefore, appeared as "Ruth", SL's default bug avatar. Even so, it was still the first instance of interoperability between one virtual world and another. "Next steps," writes Zha, who runs the Architecture Working Group, "will include better syncing with the OpenSim environment, handling teleport in and our requests, and then starting in on how to fetch assets from the test grid." It's a small step, but it opens up worlds of possibility.New World Notes: Metaverse Milestone: Interoperability Between Second Life And Open Sim Virtual Worlds
