In a different forum, Hellekin Wolf asked:
The server issue mentioned above makes me think of the requirements for
running a VOS world. Do I need hardware graphics or is it only for the
client side?
A server does not need any graphics hardware. Many servers in fact are
just providing data

Well, one approach would be to treat HTTP as an unreliable/stateless
channel, implement stateful, connection-oriented sessions on top of
that, and then have VOS (both on the server side and in the browser) run
