Developing your own virtual world?

From: Sean FitzGerald
... there are plenty of products out there (and up-coming) that you can use to build virtual worlds with. Or maybe you didn't actually mean build the software from scratch... that is a huge undertaking.

We have done a lot of research on virtual worlds lately, including DIY products. Check out the resources I've compiled here - http://sleducation.wikispaces.com/virtualworlds

I'd be happy to talk about what I've found out about the pros and cons of these products, but if it's anything other than a SL-related product - OpenSim or the upcoming official open source server - then we should probably have that conversation off-list.


I'm starting to wonder whether we should start a group in world to look at alternative virtual world platforms for education.
