Virtual World News 

Since quality is on our list of high priorities, we think the way how you the user connect to the grid and experiences Dreamworld as a virtual world platform is something we should pay attention to as well. In the past you had to be a rather technical person with more than the average computer knowledge in order to understand the system of how you can establish a connection to the grid by using a third party client. Not everybody has high trained computer skills and many people don’t want to go through a routine of tinkering and struggling just so that they would be able to explore the grid. At Dreamworld we find it needless to make things overly complex if it can be done in a smooth, convenient and easy to understand way. Because of this we have developed the Dreamworld viewer.

Besides offering a very easy way to connect to the grid the Dreamworld client also becomes a tool to explore various new ways of building in world with prims. 
If we can offer and support new technology which becomes available thanks to the collaborative efforts of programmers and this technology can contribute to improve the Metaverse as we know it today, Dreamworld will integrate it into it’s grid architecture to create a better virtual world. A first step was taking into this direction with the viewer’s release. The viewer supports large scale prim building this means that you can build inside of Dreamworld with prims beyond the standard limit of 10 metres. It is now possible to scale basic prims such as the cube, sphere, ring, tube, cone, piramid and taurus up to a size of 256 metres. These are no special scripted prims or mega prims, these are completely normal prims supported both by the server and client.
It gets even better, this improved scalability doesn’t only cover regular basic pims but also sculpted prims aka sculpties. If you wondered what a sculpted shoe of 150 metres looks like you can find out. While the sculpted shoe is merely an example we are convinced that people who are into object creation and building will see a great potential here to experiment with the creation of new 3D objects.

We have made a sandbox area on the Hera sim where you can practise with building and object creation and discover the new possibilities supported by the Dreamworld viewer for yourself.

Once you have downloaded the viewer and installed it on your computer keep in mind that you also need your avatar to log in to the grid. If you haven’t created your avatar yet:

We hope you will enjoy this first official release and are looking forward to see you on the grid.

While we are currently still working on the website there is already a healthy amount of interest for the new virtual world of Dreamworld. Because of this we would like to give some insight to you the visitor at what is currently going on behind the scenes. A lot of work has already been done and a lot still needs to be done for Dreamworld to become part of the metaverse. As this is a large scale project we are working on with several people, (the development of a new virtual world isn’t an easy task) we haven’t officially opened the world for people to join in and experience what Dreamworld is about. We do anticipate that the official beta testing for the public will start in several months from now by the end of this year. At a first stage people will be able to login to the virtual world, create their avatar, build, explore and test things out for themselves. Dreamworld will offer several new techniques and new types of technology as it is one of our key points of attention to push virtual worlds as we know them today beyond their boundries.

What we can say is that Dreamworld is the result of the efforts of many people who have a passion for virtual worlds in general. Because of this we believe Dreamworld will become a new way to experience a virtual world as it has been created by residents of the metaverse. This is coherent with our philosophy that the world “metaverse” is made by people opposed to a single entity. We are looking forward to meet you in world and become a affordable platform for people to participate in, either for business, entertainment or educational reasons.
