Welcome!
Open Cobalt is an award-winning open source virtual workspace browser and construction toolkit for accessing, creating, and publishing hyperlinked multi-user virtual environments. It makes it possible for people to freely create and share highly capable and interlinked multi-user virtual workspaces, game-based learning and training environments, and virtual exhibit spaces that can run on all major software operating systems. All this without the need to buy virtual land or pay any service or licensing fees!
