   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

• How I knew that going from engineering was right for me (and quick tips to figure it out)

  At the same time, I believe that transitioning into management is the right move for a fair share of developers - this was definitely the case for me. It’s been over a year since I accepted a management position at oVice - a remote-first company that supports remote and hybrid teams with collaborative virtual office spaces. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Aligning technology and business goals: 5 lessons I learned after being on both sides

  Another thing I’d like to mention is that checking in with the engineering team frequently and addressing concerns will help bridge the gap between tech workflows and business objectives. In my team, I do it in oVice - a virtual office space that connects hybrid and remote teams. Here, I can easily connect with the Global, Japanese, or Korean engineers and check that our goals are aligned. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• How I transitioned from engineering to management: 5 lessons I learned in the process

  My current project is my first experience working fully remotely. There are people from all over the world on the team - connecting with them without technology would be impossible. To go beyond dull status updates on Slack, I use oVice to communicate the way I did when working at the office. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What prevents you from hiring remote workers?

  There are many innovative remote work products on the market these days. It looks as if there are products for anything - from hiring to training to creating virtual co-working spaces, etc. For example, here is a product for training/evaluating remote employees: https://www.background.webcam/ For creating virtual co-working spaces: https://ovice.in/ And there are too many products/platforms for hiring to mention... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years 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: 5 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 / about 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 / about 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 / about 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 / about 2 years ago
