Croquet Mars connected via “hyper-portal” to another Croquet space

Aldo Castaneda at The Story of Digital Identity sends along the news that the Croquet Project, an open-source platform for creating 3D online environments, released a beta version of its SDK a few days ago. According to the Croquet news page, this is “the first complete public release of the core Croquet technology.” One of the most intriguing things about Croquet is that Croquet spaces can be connected via “hyper-portals,” so that a number of users could create a web (as in 3D Web?) of connected Croquet spaces and even spaces within spaces, etc. That’s right in line with a vision of the evolving 3D online space as a number of tangentially connected 3D spaces, rather than the contiguous Grid of Second Life. So pick up the SDK and let us know what you make of with it.
