A Team Of Passionate People
The VASTVERSE is built by a team of researchers, developers, scholars amongst others across the globe.
VAST is a light-weight network library that supports Spatial Publish Subscribe (SPS) so that virtual worlds such as MMOGs and Second Life can be built more scalably.
Existing virtual worlds rely on static resource provisioning and partitioning that are expensive to deploy and have inherent scalability limits. VAST intends to provide an open source alternative that is scalable, affordable, and easily deployable.
