  • Flash 11.0 or greater
  • Broadband Internet Connection


Software Requirements
In order to run in Direct3D accelerated mode, VirtualU requires at least DirectX 7.0 or later. If you do not have at least DirectX 7.0 on your computer and want to run in Direct3D mode, you should Download and install the latest DirectX from Microsoft. OpenGL and software modes do not require DirectX.

Good performance in Direct3D and OpenGL modes also requires that you have the latest drivers installed for your 3D video-card.

Internet Connection
You must have an active connection to the Internet in order to access VirtualU. Additionally, if you are running behind a firewall, VirtualU must be properly configured to run behind a firewall


Firewall Information
You must have an active connection to the Internet in order to access VirtualU. Additionally, if you are running behind a firewall, VirtualU must be properly configured to run behind a firewall Firewall Information

To use VirtualU software from behind a firewall you will need to allow a TCP inbound and outbound connection on port 443 from uni.virtualbeginnings.com and worlds1.digitell3d.com

Additionally port 80 will need to be open to objects.digitell3d.com for both normal web traffic as well as zip files.

To manually set up a proxy settings, open the aworld.ini file, which can be found within the VirtualU directory, and add the following proxy ini settings:
[proxy]
address=www.myproxy.com (or whatever)
port=8080 (or whatever).


Hard Disk Space
The initial install of VirtualU will take less than 5MB of space on your hard disk. However, as you travel in VirtualU, the objects you encounter are cached to disk for faster loading on your next visit. This can require a substantial amount of additional disk space. We recommend that you have at least 1 GB free on your hard disk at all times for best performance.
