What is Open Cobalt?

Open Cobalt is an open source and cross-platform 3D virtual world browser and application platform designed to make virtual reality and 3D web applications affordable and accessible. It is developed by a community of volunteers as a spin-off from Cobalt, which was originally developed by SGI.

Some key features and capabilities of Open Cobalt include:

• Support for creating and interacting with virtual 3D worlds and environments
• Real-time collaborative features so multiple users can inhabit the same 3D space
• A flexible scripting system for creating interactive 3D applications, games, simulations, etc.
• Support for 3D modeling formats like COLLADA
• APIs for integrating sophisticated graphics, physics, and audio
• Cross-platform support so 3D worlds and apps built on Open Cobalt work across Windows, Linux, and macOS

Open Cobalt makes it easy for artists, educators, developers, and hobbyists to create shared virtual reality experiences on affordable consumer hardware. Its educational uses include creating interactive simulations and virtual tours. Businesses can also utilize it for collaborative prototypes and product visualizations.
