<div>> (i.e. Free as in free client AND server)</div>
<div><br />Unfortunately, I like the Network Sensor concept (due to its generality), and don't forget:<br /><br />* An X3D viewer is not required to support Java (either Internal in a Script node or external)<br />* An X3D viewer is required to support ECMAScript in the Script node - if the viewer supports the Script node<br />* An X3D viewer is not required to support external SAI with ECMAScript<br />(I copied these sentences from another forum, Author: Leonard Daly)<br /><br />When I use network sensors, it's possible to implement rather complex MU animations/simulations just using ECMAScript, without being dependent on the SAI/EAI.<br /><br /></div>

<div>>is there something else in the standard, that can be used for multiuser mode (besides SAI/EAI)?<br /> </div>
<div>To the best of my knowledge no -not as a standard per se.</div>
<div>However some people have done interesting MU stuff with php:</div>

<div>Paul Aslin has something similar as well -it may be the 3dchat link.</div>

<h2 class="western">BS Contact</h2>
<p>Supported from the beginning of the project. Multi-user-mode with and BS Collaborate definitively possible.</p>
<h2 class="western">Octaga</h2>
<p>Supported from spring 2009 onwards. Multi-user-mode with theoretically possible, but no free test version of collaboration server available -> multi-user-mode cannot be supported currently.</p>
<h2 class="western">Instant Reality</h2>
<p>First trials positive. Yet unknown, whether Network Sensor node is supported or not. According to X3D-public mailing list an open source multi-user-framework exists (to be analysed).</p>
<h2 class="western">Free WRL</h2>
<p>First trials show, that is not supported <font face="Times New Roman, serif">→</font> postponed.</p>
<h2 class="western">Xj3D</h2>
<p>First trials show, that Xj3D has problems with nested prototypes <font face="Times New Roman, serif">→</font> postponed.</p>
<h2 class="western">Vivaty</h2>
<p>Not available AFAIK</p>
<h2 class="western">SwirlX3D</h2>
<p>First trials not un-positive, but show up problems with viewpoints in prototypes, proximity sensors in prototypes etc. <font face="Times New Roman, serif">→</font> postponed</p>
