Oh wow are you talking about OpenSimulator and hypergrids like OSGrid? I haven't thought about those in years, I had to look them up again.
As I recall: people reverse-engineered the Second Life communication protocol to make a library to interact with it. Then they made their own viewers/interfaces. Then they made their own second-life-like servers/worlds. Then they made it possible to connect those worlds in grids. This was all open source. I haven't been following them for a while though.
