Integrating the Web with Real-Time, Multi-User Systems

Welcome to The WorldSmiths Group - Developers of Hybrid Virtual Environments - technology that represents the State-of-the-Art for economical, collaborative, group conferencing.

Hello...
The WorldSmiths Group is a collection of talented and dedicated individuals, working to develop real-time, multi-user, multi-media conferencing systems to support education, corporate training, and commercial needs.

Text-based MUDs (Multi-User Domains) have been used for more than a decade by educators and others to produce impressive virtual "worlds" built of nothing more than words and imagination. Lately, with the advent of the World Wide Web, graphics and other media have been added to some of these worlds.

The WorldSmiths Group builds on these trends with cutting-edge technology while lowering the cost of entry. Users connect to our environments with stardard web browsers...no special software, plugin or client needed. We're also extending the usefulness of the conventional, text-only, virtual environments by including multi-media elements designed specfically for Web-based, real-time interaction.

We're convinced the next wave of web development see direct interaction between the users and content providers. Beyond merely reading about our technology via these web pages, I sincerely hope you'll choose to stop in for a chat. After all, the only way to fully explore the potentials of interactive technologies you have to...well...interact with them.
