The company is led by Second Life founder Philip Rosedale, and provides the tools needed to build and deploy interconnected and highly-social virtual worlds.

"High Fidelity enables you to use common formats, tools and languages to build complex interactive experiences, share processing power among users, and scale to thousands of people and petabytes of data in a single space," reads an explainer.
