Overte Federation
Overte is a virtual social platform that allows its users to socialize in a more involved way than traditional digital communications, by allowing them to enter worlds using Virtual Reality. It can be used not just for recreational activities, but also education, psychotherapy, congresses, and more. The goal is to support people's need for immersive social platforms, by providing them with something that is privacy respecting and free. Within the scope of this grant, the project will add federation between Overte servers, as well as upgrade the backend directory service to allow for easier discovery of users.
