Second Life has opened its doors in 2003 and the project was quickly met with great success, and reaching to unite millions of users worldwide. Internet users, but also companies and even some advertisers. However, everything changed in 2007, when the fatigue started to settle. Since then, the virtual world created by Linden Lab is rather on the decline.
The publisher, however, seems determined not to let it go and it has just announced good news on its community site now, Second Life support headset Oculus Rift .
What does that mean? Simply that it is now possible to walk in Second Life as if we really were, and not only through the screen of our computer.
Then of course, for the moment, few people can actually experience. And for good reason, since the Oculus Rift is not yet commercially available.
However, if you're one of the few people to have one at home, then know that you will not need much to enjoy this novelty. All you have to do is actually get the latest version of Project Viewer on Windows , OS X or Linux .
From this point, you only have to launch the title. It will automatically detect the Oculus Rift and then load it to switch the display of the virtual world on their screens as if nothing had happened. On your side, you will just sit back and let yourself be carried by the experience.
I do not know whether this improvement will entice users to stick again on Second Life, but it should not hurt him anyway.
And ends with a short video that will explain the basics.
