Main Page

Active Worlds (AW) is a 3D virtual reality platform where users assign themselves a unique name, log into the universe and explore 3D virtual environments that other users have built. Users can chat with one another or build structures themselves from a selection of objects in private or publicly owned land. The intuitive building system allows even the most inexperienced users to pick-up and begin building their own environments right away.

The browser, available for free download, also has web browsing capabilities, voice chat, streaming media and instant messaging which allows users to connect, explore and create more in-depth and interactive environments.
