Communities online in 3D.
Meet the MUVErs
Online MultiUser Virtual Environments (MUVEs) are becoming widely available as tools for social media, education and organizations. The delivery system has been by a company hosting many interconnected MUVEs but an alternative is emerging to allow communities or organizations to manage their own themed MUVES while the technical work is managed by a technical company.

Online MultiUser Virtual Environment (MUVE)
- Virtual environment: Simulated 3D space created in a computer
- Online MUVE: A MUVE accessed over the internet.
- Community: Group of people with common interests and shared goals.
- Communities usually have a place where they get together.
- As social media has developed on the web, that place can be online.
- A themed online MUVE can offer a place where people get together.
- They get together, represented by human-like figures.
- In a simulated place representing their common interests (the theme).
- They talk about their common interests, share information and make plans.
Who would be interested?
- Educational systems: Online education expands capacity.
- Companies: Meet customers where they live. Meet workers where they work.
- Service organizations: Confer with clients while working from home.

Why use an online MUVE?
- We already live in a MUVE. That's where we meet people.
- What do we get from meeting people online?
- -
- We can meet people more easily and more often.
- We don't dress up. Our digital representatives are already dressed.
- We don't travel so we save time and gas.
- A one-hour meeting across town will take at least two hours, counting travel.
- Some of the people we really want to meet may live thousands of miles away.
- An online MUVE is as near as your computer.
- Easy on distance workers.
- Easy on people working at home.
- And it is easy on people with mobility limitations.
- Some MUVES can even be reached in a browser on a tablet.
A small meeting in a MUVE
- These people (MultiUsers) are in several places in the US and Europe.
- But it took us less than a minute each to gather in this meeting.
Some people like unusual outfits
- The spacesuit was not relevant to this meeting.
- But in a lecture on the surface of Mars, it would be appropriate.
- In that lecture, the surface of Mars would be the Virtual Environment.
- That is an example of a themed MUVE.
Where are themed MUVES offered?
- MUVEs have been mainly offered by online companies (called grids).
- Themed MUVES can be managed by communities, organizations and schools.
- Kitely will offer private grids with dedicated login pages
- One-Click DreamWorld Opensimulator For Windows
- In a browser: Web-worlds, 3D virtual worlds running in a browser. Summary
- EcoMUVE
- Early effort: VIBE (Facebook)
