The Virtual World Framework v1.06 is a comprehensive toolkit that enables developers to quickly build multi-user, multi-platform virtual worlds accessible via any web browser, smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer. It leverages WebGL to transform any website into an interactive virtual environment, supporting real-time collaboration across Android, iOS, and desktop platforms. The framework features responsive user interfaces that adapt to different device screen sizes, including built-in examples for mobile controls.
Built on Photon Unity Network (PUN 2), the framework includes full integration for scene selection, character selection, room chat, and synchronized object updates. It supports event-driven network scripts and is designed with future extensibility in mind, including potential support for UNET. The package includes all source code for a complete set of essential scripts: Application Manager, Workflow Manager, Process Manager, UI Manager, Setting Manager, Scene Manager, Instance Manager (Room), Character Manager, Simulation Manager, Level Manager, Camera Manager, Assetbundle Manager, File Manager, Asset Manager, Network Manager, Chat Manager, and Process Manager.
These scripts collectively provide a fully functional virtual world foundation, saving developers significant time and effort in research and development. Users can easily extend the framework by adding new scenes through the Scene Manager or new characters via the Character Manager, both of which dynamically update the UI with real-time selections. The framework supports a wide range of use cases, including virtual worlds, presentation and collaboration spaces, commerce environments, learning modules, and serious games—effectively enabling the digital replication of any real-world experience.
