5. 1) What is Jibe?
● Jibe is a multiuser 3d virtual world platform created by
ReactionGrid and accessible via a web browser or
standalone client.
● Jibe allows you to design and manage your own virtual
world which can either be hosted by ReactionGrid or fully
installed on your own servers.
● With a single click install and no browser restart, users can
instantly be in your fully customized multiuser 3d virtual
world.

6. 2) Jibe Architecture
● The Jibe platform is an extensible architecture that uses a
middleware abstraction layer to communicate with multiple
backend systems (currently SmartFox & Photon) and
frontends (currently Unity3D).
● Current deployments of Jibe worlds utilize the Unity3D web
plugin, with iOS and Android support under development.

8. 3) The Unity3D Editor
● Using the Unity3D Editor to build your Jibe world gives you
access to a professional development environment with
professional quality graphics, physics and sound.
● You can create 3d assets within the Editor or import assets
created with any industry standard 3d modeling program
(Maya, Blender, Lightwave, Google Sketchup, 3D Studio
Max, Autodesk, & more).
● The Unity3D Editor also supports scripting in C#, Javascript
and Boo, allowing you to design highly interactive
environments and objects.
