🎮 How to use SuteraVR?

SuteraVR is a kind of collection of specifications, and not specific software/sourcecode. For example, any application that conforms to the same version SuteraVR/Specifications/Client can join the SuteraVR network at any time. Thus, an application that complies with the SuteraVR specification is called an "implementation" of SuteraVR.

Below is an some of a SuteraVR implementation commonly used by SuteraVR users.

The well-known implementations

SuteraVR/Specifications/Client

• SuteraVR/Godot-Client (maintained by SuteraVR Team, Under developing, not for use)

SuteraVR/Specifications/Bloom

• SuteraVR/sutera-bloom-rs (maintained by SuteraVR Team, Under developing, not for use)

🧭 Concept

• Distributed & Decentralized
  • To make the metaverse as certain as reality, it must not become fragile things dependent on specific companies or platforms. Virtual Reality, forever.

✨ Design

• Bloom
  • You can create a bloom that works as an independent VR-Social platform: play with friends, share worlds and items. All blooms communicate with each other, and be able to access contents of other blooms.
• Sandbox Enviroment
  • Complete data processing within the sandbox environment. Prevent viruses and malicious scripts from executing and influencing the outside world.
• SuteraVR SDK
  • You can upload avatars/worlds/items, and attach functions whatever you coded.

🌼 Name Origin

Are you worrying that "Sutera" is a misspelling of "Stella"? The name comes from the Sutera flower of the Scrophulariaceae family, known as Bacopa.
