What is Hifi?
High Fidelity (hifi) is an early-stage technology lab experimenting with Virtual Worlds and VR.
In this repository you'll find the source to many of the components in our alpha-stage virtual world. The project embraces distributed development and if you'd like to help, we'll pay you -- find out more at Worklist.net. If you find a small bug and have a fix, pull requests are welcome. If you'd like to get paid for your work, make sure you report the bug via a job on Worklist.net.
We're hiring! We're looking for skilled developers; send your resume to hiring@highfidelity.io
Building Interface
Interface is our OS X and Linux build-able client for accessing our virtual world.
CMake
Hifi uses CMake to generate build files and project files for your platform. You can download CMake at cmake.org
Create a build directory in the root of your checkout and then run the CMake build from there. This will keep the rest of the directory clean, and makes the gitignore a little easier to handle (since we can just ignore build).
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G Xcode
Those are the commands used on OS X to run CMake from the build folder and generate Xcode project files. If you are building on a *nix system, you'll run something like "cmake .." (this will depend on your exact needs)
Other dependencies & information
In addition to CMake, Qt 5.1 is required to build all components.
What can I build on? We have successfully built on OS X 10.8, Ubuntu and a few other modern Linux distributions. A Windows build is planned for the future, but not currently in development.
I'm in-world, what can I do?
If you don't see anything, make sure your preferences are pointing to root.highfidelity.io, if you still have no luck it's possible our servers are simply down; if you're experiencing a major bug, let us know by suggesting a Job on Worklist.net -- make sure to include details about your operating system and your computer system.
To move around in-world, use the arrow keys (and Shift + up/down to fly up or down) or W A S D, and E or C to fly up/down. All of the other possible options and features are available via menus in the Interface application.
Other components
voxel-server, animation-server, audio-mixer, avatar-mixer, domain-server, pairing-server and space-server are architectural components that will allow you to run the full stack of the virtual world should you choose to.
I'm ready, I want to run my own virtual world!
In the voxel-server/src directory you will find a README that explains how to setup and administer a voxel-server.
Keep in mind that, at a minimum, you must run a domain-server, voxel-server, audio-mixer, and avatar-mixer to have a working virtual world. Basic documentation for the other components is on its way.
