[Building Sakai] Metaverse in Sakai

[cg]

I thought you might be interested in this opensource project which
integrates training material into second life. http://www.pivote.info/

Are you planning to integrate some kind of 3d environment software with
Sakai ?

Some opensource virtual worlds :
Realxtend
http://www.realxtend.org/
Solipsis
http://www.solipsis.org/

And one that i like most, 3dxplorer
3dxplorer.com
It's commercial but you can try it as long as you don't have more than 200
visits per day. It's rather unique, supports skype conferencing,  both
player and studio don't require plugin to download and allows importing 3d
material in collada, 3ds formats. So you can build the entire virtual world
with 3d software like sketchup or 3dsmax and afterwards import it into
3dxplorer.

Anyway a 3d simulation system for preparing educational material with Sakai,
must provide a server so that universities save money using their ownn
servers.
Thats for example the approach of the opensource realxtend.
