What is Kitely?
Kitely is a cloud-based virtual world platform launched in 2011 that allows users to build and host their own private virtual worlds without needing to set up any servers or infrastructure. It uses an innovative on-demand pricing model so users only pay for the virtual land and resources they use.
Some key features of Kitely include:
- Ability to create private virtual worlds with up to 100,000 prims.
- Advanced world building tools.
- Support for importing meshes, textures, animations etc.
- Option to make worlds accessible to the public or limit access.
- Only pay for land and resources when a world is active.
- OAR export allows backing up and migrating virtual worlds.
Kitely offers more flexibility, control and cost-efficiency compared to traditional closed virtual worlds. It allows businesses, organizations, educators and individuals to quickly create detailed virtual environments tailored to their needs and only pay for compute resources when they are actively using the worlds.
