Divereal: a social virtual world without rooms

摘要

DiveReal is a social virtual world: people get in primarily to meet and talk to others. But unlike its classical counterparts, it does not rely on servers to put people together. Instead, it uses an overlay that grows as more people get in. For the user, this means a different experience: the world is not anymore divided in “rooms”, “islands” or “realms” but accepts everyone, possibly millions, in a unique seamless space.
