   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

• 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

• Web app for easy, instant body doubling

  I tried using https://sneek.io/ but found it wasn't "presence"-y enough. Source: 12 months ago

• ADHD|WFH

  It's interesting that you mention body doubles, because for a while I tried to get my team to use Sneek. Sometimes it feels like I've been re-inventing a bunch of stuff in parallel to the ADHD community. Source: about 1 year ago

• [personal grind story] How I was able to make 4 jobs REDUNDANT!

  Before corona, I worked a job in an office (I think the workshy slobs are still mad at me, so sparing details). Anyway, we had this devision of essentially HR "people" that would spend their time talking, leaving early, etc. I had no idea how to make them BEHAVE! Essentially, part of what they did was to organize meetings, keep schedule of the work hours of OTHER people =, etc. When the pandemic hit (2 hours less... Source: over 2 years ago

• What is perfectly legal, but creepy as hell?

  Since the pandemic started, there's been a wave of horrendous surveillance software used by companies with shit cultures who don't know how to manage people remotely. Sneek, as mentioned in this article, for example. It doesn't market itself as awful invasive monitoring software, but jesus christ:. Source: over 2 years ago
