FreeXoo transmits information regarding avatar position and orientation as well as avatar actions between users in a virtual world via a peer to peer mesh. FreeXoo also provides proximity based audio using a modified version of RAT in order to allow users to communicate in the virtual environment.</span></font></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Arial; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Arial; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">To read more about freeXoo or to download the freeXoo software, please visit <a href="http://freexoo.sourceforge.net">freexoo.sourceforge.net</a>.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Arial; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Arial; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">Feedback welcome.</span></font></div><div>
