Movix are building the Square Bubble Grid, a peer to peer network for virtual 'mirror' worlds. The grid is navigated using our (patent applied for) addressing protocol.

We want to make creating geographic mirror worlds as easy as building a conventional website:

1. Register your 3D domain name 2. Download and install our open source software 3. Connect to the Square Bubble Grid

Movix is four UK based people. Two are seriously technical and super creative, the other two are creatives from the movie industry. We're all over 40, apart from Rob.

Here's our sketchy (literally) website www.movix.co.uk
