| − | Sine Space can be accessed from a variety of platforms, with more to be added as the platform continues to be developed. This is made a realistic possiblitlty due to the Unity Game Engine, which can be deployed on a veritable host of devices, not the least of which are WebGL, the PC, Mac, and Linux desktops, Android, most Grade-AAA gaming consoles, and pontentially dozens of smart media devices.

| − | To use the space desktop client, you will first need to visit [http://sine.space/ sine.space]. Once on the homepage, click on '''Download''' at the top of the page. You can then choose the appropriate download of the client for your system. We currently support Windows, Mac and Linux systems.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Once the download is finished, kindly follow the installation steps for installing the desktop client on to your system.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can then log in to the desktop client as a guest or create an account the same way as WebGL.

| |
| − | ==User Roles==
| |
| − | You may access Space under a variety of circumstances, and we recognize that not everyone will want to go through a signup process just to have a look around and see what all the fuss is about. So, there are a couple of different ways you can access space:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * '''As a guest with WebGL''': Using the standard http web browser to access Space regions
| |
| − | * '''As a resident with the Desktop Client''': Using the Sine Space Desktop Client to access Space Regions
| |
| − | * '''As a content creator with the Desktop Client''': Using the Sine Space Desktop Client to access Space Regions on the Staging Servers
