Open Cobalt is being developed to make it easy for people and organizations to create secure virtual world spaces. By leveraging OpenGL-based 3D graphics, Open Cobalt supports highly scalable collaborative data visualization, virtual learning and problem solving environments, 3D wikis, online gaming environments (MMORPGs), as well as privately and securely maintained multiuser virtual environments that facilitate group communication and help people organize project work. Through Open Cobalt's VNC capability, you can even bring all of your web resources (learning management systems, course management systems, wikis, etc.) into your virtual spaces - interactively. By making Open Cobalt available, we seek to stimulate the development and dissemination of shared cyber-environments for the staging, observation and evaluation of collaborative decision-making, problem finding, and problem solving among members of distributed virtual organizations and educational communities.
