    Via OpenSim, le premier pont a été construit entre des univers virtuels différents. Un premier pas vers le rêve d'interopérabilité des univers virtuels ?

    Linden Labs Open Bridge Beta to connect SL test grid to and Open Sim servers.

    • The beta program will allow users to move between a Second Life test grid--a set of servers simulating a virtual world--and other non-Linden Lab grids running the OpenSim software. OpenSim is an independent open-source project to create a virtual-world server.


      The discussion of linking together today's virtual worlds is not new, but this is the first running code that demonstrates previously hypothetical approaches--another tangible sign that Linden Lab is serious about interoperability

    • Interoperability is the future of the Web, says Terry Ford, the owner and operator of an OpenSim-based world called 3rd Rock Grid. Ford is also participating in the program. "It may be [in] OpenSim's future, or maybe another package will spring up, but just as links from a Web page take you to another site, people will come to expect the ability to navigate between virtual worlds," he says.

    VirtualWorld

    • The first steps to developing virtual-world interoperability are now being tested between Second Life and other independent virtual worlds, thanks to the launch of Linden Lab's Open Grid Beta, a program designed for developers to test new functionality.
