The 3D virtual world platform
Second Life, the 3D virtual world platform, created by Linden Lab will soon be available on 3G handsets via Vollee's streaming mobile games service. Beta trials for Vollee's new mobile offering for the Second Life Grid platform (an inter-connected platform which extends beyond the mainland of Second Life itself) will be open to those who pre-register by visiting www.vollee.com/secondlife.
Vollee's Second Life mobile service will enable access to the virtual world of Second Life for Residents to explore, interact and communicate on-line. The Second Life mobile experience reformats the online world to fit on mobile phone screens while mapping the keys on handsets to commands in-world. Existing Residents can simply log-in and people new to Second Life can also try out the online world for the first time through the mobile service. With a simple download to their 3G mobile handset, anyone can enjoy their online Second Life session while on the move.
"What we have developed is a service which, for the first time, allows you to access a rich persistent virtual 3D world the way it is supposed to be experienced on your phone,"said Martin Dunsby, CEO, Vollee. "This is a true before and after moment in which mobile is living up to its potential in serving as an always on, connected platform.
Vollee's Second Life mobile beta trials will begin in May 2008, but fans can pre-register beginning today by visiting >www.vollee.com/secondlife
