Sansar beta, new VR environment

https://www.sansar.com/download

It's in open beta, available to all. You need a pretty decent computer and broadband connection, as you will see in the specs. You do NOT have to use VR but of course they recommend it.

Check it out.

I may have to look into budgeting for broadband in that case...

I don't really understand, is this going to be used as a content agregator for VR?

you make your own "stuff" there and exhibit it there. It's not an aggregator. If it's not on their servers, it is not there at all.

Okay, that makes sense. So this should allow creators to show off what they make to a larger audience?
