OpenSim is a social platform designed for users to interact, communicate and express their creativity while inside a virtual reality simulation.

The social experience within SkyLine Grid and many other OpenSim worlds, enables users to have in-world personalized public profiles, and connect through instant-messaging, open chat or even voice chat, where available.

Users can be added to each others contact lists, create groups where users can be notified of events specific to their interests, and share in-world content by ensuring ownership and copyright of everything that is created in-world. Users can also manage and regulate their own experience by using block features that prevent specific users to interact with them.

Aside from Social Networking, OpenSim provides for a rich virtual experience where users can create detailed objects using the free tools provided, upload image files, such as photos or textures, as well as uploading high-quality 3D models. Every item that is created or uploaded on the grid can be shared freely with other users, or made available for sale, in exchange for in-world token-based currency.
