What is Snowglobe?

Snowglobe is an Open Source project developing viewers that connect to the Second Life Grid. Goals include:

  • Encourage development of alternative viewers that create choice for Second Life Residents
  • Encourage research and innovation of new viewer functionality
  • Collaborate with the development community to incorporate patches that enhance the official Second Life viewer

Snowglobe (sometimes 'SG') is commonly used to refer specifically to the Snowglobe viewer.
