] Solipsis is a pure peer-to-peer system for a massively ] shared virtual world. There is no server at all: it only ] relies on end-users' machines. ] ] The shared virtual worlds of nowadays MMORPG strongly ] rely on privately owned servers. These servers are an ] expensive bottleneck that limits their scalability. In ] addition, these servers bound the freedom of the virtual ] world inhabitants and the imagination of the ] world-builders and developers. Solipsis solves these ] problems with a free and open-source system. ] ] Solipsis is a public virtual territory. The world is ] initially empty and only users will fill it by creating ] and running entities. No pre-existing cities, habitants ] nor scenario to respect... ] ] Solipsis is open-source, so everybody can enhance the ] protocols and the algorithms. Moreover, the system ] architecture clearly separates the different tasks, so ] that peer-to-peer hackers as well as multimedia geeks can ] find here a good place to have fun ! ] ] The best approximation of what could be Solipsis in a ] near future may be Neal Stephenson's Metaverse. Interesting. Development is being lead by France Telecom's R&D division. Solipsis: A peer-to-peer system for a massively multi-participant virtual world |
