At a recent club meeting, some folks mentioned they were interested in learning more about web-based virtual worlds and possibly taking a tour of one of them.
So today, our discussion focused on web-based virtual worlds. And instead of traveling the Hypergrid, we made a special visit to a Jibe-based Unity3D world.
At a recent meeting of the Hypergrid Adventurers Club we visited The Grey In Between, a beautiful standalone grid created by Vanish Seriath. During our meeting, Vanish mentioned how it might be helpful for us to use IRC as an additional way to chat in realtime as a group.
Read on to learn more about IRC and how to use it to stay in touch during our adventures.
In today’s two meetings we explored the region Quebec on FrancoGrid. This region featured a library with interactive 3D exhibits, a planetarium with a UFO exhibit, and a replica of the Pont de Québec bridge. We also had great discussions including one about content ownership and licensing in OpenSim.

I’ve just established an Outpost for the Hypergrid Adventurers Club on the German grid of Metropolis.
It’s located in the large train station at the Metropolis arrival point *CenterWorld*. Inside you’ll find freebies and more!

In today’s meeting we visited FrancoGrid and checked out a very cool science fiction themed region named Hybride.
Hybride was stunning. It’s impressive to see how one can create a consistent visual theme across an entire region. We met some of locals of FrancoGrid, stopped by a great freebie store, and ended with an impromptu dance party. Read on for a full transcript and many photos.
In today’s two meetings we explored Metropolis Metaversum for the first time.
We met some of the citizens of Metropolis, visited a beautiful train station, looked at classic German architecture, and found some nice freebies along the way. We also learned that Nani Ferguson from FrancoGrid is creating a special scavenger hunt event for Christmas. Read on for a full transcript and many photos.
December 1st is World AIDS Day.
The wonderful folks at Startled Cat and the Karuna Initiative are launching a beautiful 3D AIDS Quilt this year, supported by jokaydiaGRID.
I highly recommend you check this out. Read on for details.
In today’s meeting we met with Larry Rosenthal (Cube Inada) of Cube3.com for a guided tour of Cube3 Virtual Worlds and Products displayed on ReactionGrid’s public grid.
Cube also shared his amazing background and knowledge of many different virtual worlds. Read on for a full transcript and many photos.
Starting next week, I will be holding regular Office Hours in ReactionGrid.
