   Most flexible Metaverse out there...

   Most of the 3D world experiences limit what a user can build and do. This is not so with Vircadia. The Apache license makes this 3D application the most flexible tool for building custom and interactive worlds. Vircadia is truly free, open and relatively easy to use. There are several developers who are working and improving this platform daily! Free content ensures that new users have access to materials for building their world without having to worry about learning difficult 3D applications. I highly recommend Vircadia and believe this will be the next big server technology on the world wide web.

   🏁 Competitors: VRChat, Facebook Spaces, Facebook Horizon, Second Life, vTime XR, Metaverse, Sansar, OpenSimSim

   👍 Pros:    Spacial audio|Apache license|Inworld creation tools|Multiple platforms|Vr ready|Free content

   👎 Cons:    In development

• "macos-gaming" Github repo as a Wiki for playing Windows games on macOS

  This is a good initiative, but I'd expect that these details will be added to https://applesilicongames.com in a few days or weeks. Source: about 1 year ago

• What are the best games available for macbook air m2?

  It works through Crossover, I just tried it on M1 Pro and there are indeed small glitches when looking through portals, but otherwise it runs pretty well (after initial small stutters on texture loading). I didn't expect to need Crossover, especially since games like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided run natively, but apparently Valve didn't compile Portal 2 for 64-bit systems (I remember it working natively on older MacOS...

• Microsoft announces full support for virtualization of Windows on ARM through Parallels Desktop 18

  Https://applesilicongames.com/ has details. A lot of games that don’t require DX12 work well under parallels. Source: over 1 year ago

• Mac novice seeking advice

  Been using https://applesilicongames.com for perfirmance indicators. What does 'Good' count as? 30FPS? 40-50? It's too subjective. Source: over 1 year ago

• Does anyone who play the game on UTM virtualization?

  UTM isn’t made for running games. Which game do you want to run? And which Mac do you have? If you have a Apple Silicon powered Mac (M1 or M2) check out Apple Silicon Games. If you have a Intel Mac you can always use bootcamp. Source: over 1 year ago

• Vircadia: 2023.2.X “Selene” Release

  Vircadia is an open source (Apache 2.0) metaverse ecosystem consisting of a high performance real-time server architecture (C++), web SDK (TS), and web client (TS). Source: 7 months ago

• FLAC 1.3.4

  Not pre-baked. I work on https://vircadia.com/ -- it has to give every user their own audio mix to account for their 3D position. This means codec costs add up fast. You can't just encode once and stream the same thing to a dozen people. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• FLAC 1.3.4

  Both, primarily the first. Low latency is definitely a requirement, but no issues with Opus on that account. > I haven't looked into how expensive it is to encode in terms of CPU time, so I assume maybe you're taking about a bottleneck in terms of the number of simultaneous streams you can support on a single CPU? Yup! I work on https://vircadia.com/ -- we have to compress audio in real time and every user gets... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• When the Stagnation Goes Virtual

  Second Life improved avatars by quite a lot in fairly recent times. There's also alternatives to it, eg, check out the project I work on: https://vircadia.com/ It's a sort of spiritual successor to Second Life, since it was started by the same guy -- Philip Rosedale -- after he left SL. It didn't quite work, so the commercial project died and got picked up by open source forks, which is what I work on. It's less... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• When the Stagnation Goes Virtual

  To me it's useful/entertaining in the ways forums and chats are, plus some additional features on top of that. Eg, you can talk to people, but in addition to that you have a collaborative 3D environment with positional audio where you can script, make games or do other stuff. Recently a group using our project put up a Christmas Carol VR play, and the results were most impressive. https://vircadia.com/ -- it's an... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
