Already hard to see all the HUDs, chat, IMs and Inventory on a 27" screen... but curious to what it will be on iPhone and YES, been waiting for this for over 10 years
Excellent work! I've lived in SL for over a decade and it has really helped me to discover who I am and is also a great outlet for creativity. Thank you all for being awesome.
So happy second life is still around. Started in 2006 and have been away for many years but still have cherished memories of friends and experiences. Can’t wait until in world is mobile ! 🙏🏾
I am curious to know if some of the basic functions of SL will be available in this viewer. Like: sitting on an animated item and using it's menu, camera movements of the kind that are usually made in normal viewers with ctrl , alt , shift and mouse, without using those arrows on screen, zooming in and out with ctrl+ 8 or 9 or 0 (which is similar to an optical zoom instead of a digital zoom), Phototools, Cameratools, WIndlights, the menu on top of the viewer, info about permissions on the land you visit, "about land" info, left click, right click with menu, etc.
I'm so looking forward to this. I remember being on a secondlife app where you could walk around and see people, go to the clubs, hear the music and dance. So many people were heartbroken when it was gone. It's been a long time waiting and it looks like it will be better than ever.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG REALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SECOND LIFE ON PHONE I CANT BELEIVE IT FINALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY NOW I CAN CARRY MY LITTEL WORLD EVERY WERE WITH ME THNAK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I am almost always on the go with my busy schedule. Having a mobile viewer with an up to date 3D view would most definitely bring me back to the grid a lot more. I'm eagerly awaiting this release for sure.
Looking very good. Hopefully we will be able to get to private sims. I heard Mainland. Looking forward to running this on a new iPad Pro with their M2 chip. I like what the Speedlight folks are doing but using the Unity engine shows off SL like it should. Also like the fact we can take SL anywhere. Keep up the great work.
I really hope this will come out as opensource as slviewer is, so it will open a new potential for a new kind of third party viewers for PC as well! Either case, I'm really excited to see this. A great celebration of 20th SL birthday!
I’ve been in SL since like 2006/2007. It’s crazy how long it’s taken for certain developments to happen. Hopefully ‘soon’ doesn’t mean next year. I wonder if voice will be available and interactivity.
This is soooooooo awesome. I am looking forward to this. Every since my old desktop gave up the ghost I got a new laptop a few years back. But sadly it doesn't have the backbone to run Second Life wourth a flip. I hope my galaxy s9 plus can run it as I can't afford a new phone. Granted I know my battery life will suffer and die a lot but man. Soooo many worlds I'd love to explore. I am looking forward to this soooo much. Thanks for working on creating Second Life mobile. I'm looking forward to more information about this. 20 years. Wow. That is amazing for a program. So. Happy 20 year anniversary. Sorry if I'm late or early with that. But thanks for this. Please I hope fingers crossed that I can use my windows viewer account on my mobile account. And I know your a business and must make money to keep your servers going. But I have a request probably from all of us. Please please please don't do like other companies and monetize Second Life Viewer To Oblivion. I as many other might be ok with some monetization. But not Monetization to Oblivion. Anyways. Thanks again for this update. I'm looking forward to more information. Have an awesome day.
We have been able to get SL on a phone since 2016 via the Lumiya app on Android. Albeit it's quite janky slow and laggy lol, but you can see inworld, view your inventory and IM someone. Be curious to see how the official SL mobile app is...looks much better and more fluid. I'll stick to the desktop version....my old eyes can't handle staring at a little phone screen for very long. I would be more excited for VR! Yeah I know that's not happening anytime soon if ever.....one can dream, aye? I did get on SL once with a sudo-VR google cardboard app don't remember the name. Obviously, was not in true 360 VR, and yes it was just as bad as the Lumiya app, but it WORKED...sort of lol. So VR is not totally impossible but improbable. Keep up the good work SL ❤
Ditto. Had Lumiya for a couple of years. A bit glitchy and tho I could TP, I could not go the clubs to dance, but could some times sit and listen to steaming music. Then one day I needed a new phone and POOF, no more Lumiya. 😕 If this goes well, I will have to set it up on my tablet! This is great news.
they sorta alredy have if you have used it speedlight limits your online time to 5 hours a dayt unless you have premium plus wich is infinet online time so they probly are alredyt doing just that
@@teacupalice I agree with you there I am using a vivo 2, phone and it runs most games but some time Now I haven't been Abel to play most new Mobile games
Great to hear!!! Can not wait to see it up and running😊 I have be on Second Life since 2010 so this will help make it easier if need to log in for something really fast and don't have my laptop with me.
It looks already very good and "ready for use". I think, for the most people not the "most best" graphics-quality is counting ... more "see, walk, chat/IM, cam, pay (also objects)". If you then can also place inventory into the world and move it ... and have animations ... and can listen to the music-stream - all you need.
This is really exciting, I've been keeping my eye out for a good mobile viewer for years. Hopefully I can interact with hud items on screen because I'd love to some minigames on mobile
I guess this would look ok with an ipad/tablet but for me, a large percentage of the enjoyment of SL is the visuals, the amazing builds and seeing the details that people put into their avatars. I feel like this will be lost for the most part on a tiny phone screen, even with the larger "pro" phones.
i have been a second life member for years now, i have seen a few unofficial viewers for android come and go, but an official one would be interesting to see, especially if it can keep the claims they say.
Finally ❤ this will allow new players to know the game and also for the users a new way to play. Can’t wait to try it. Linden lab took his time to improve on mobile, hope it’s good and easy to use
😊This helps with entire community built while the community is on the go, or relaxing while connected to wifi on travel or at home without having to bring entire laptop and function with cell phone or a tablet.
Ahhh, finally listened to entire vid....my prayers are being answered! I can experience SL on my ipad!!!! ty ty ty whoooot!!!! Cant wait for the release of the SL mobile!!! Again, ty ty ty Lindens!!!
hmm unity engine eh. this just help me make up my mind on what engine to use to make a MMO since i love SL as well. Great work with the engine Linden Lab.
I used Lumiya too 👍 It wasn't the best performance wise imo (I suppose it was for the time lol), but allowed me to contact friends on the go. Glad to see they've finally realised the importance of mobile tech albeit very late 😂
Lumiya no longer has updates. The creator abandoned it some years ago. We can no longer use animations and there are issues getting dressed. And so on. It used to be good though.
I used to use SL in my android computer 15" 2GB RAM with Android 4.4.4. and in my old Samsung Pro 12.2" 3GB RAM with android 5 using Lumiya. I don't expect that it run in these. But I would love it. Anyway I have some newer tablets but with smaller screens and a iPad 9.
I'm kinda happy right now for having Second Life in my mobile phone but I would like to see my avatar's inventory soon in SL app.🙏 Good job for development team in SL app.👍👏
I can't wait. I haven't used my account for so long. Hope people start using this again more - and maybe VR is attempted again? I really extremely think this idea is one i want. SL is the only Verse i have ever liked... And the only reason i dont use it is the lack of other people around sometimes
This is awesome and I'm happy that user who have trouble running SL on PC can finally join in the virtual fun. I just hope SL will continue to update the PC version and continue to make the game as great as it can be.

ok we now need sl to come to a SWITCH PLATFORM (1can only hope)
Not a new idea, but an official one is certainly at least a decade overdue.
Already hard to see all the HUDs, chat, IMs and Inventory on a 27" screen... but curious to what it will be on iPhone and YES, been waiting for this for over 10 years
!!!PLEASE CONSIDER MOBILE VR, yes I mean like a google cardboardish version. It would be a nice side addition!!!
What happened to Lumiya viewer?
I've been a resident since 2013 and looking forward to trying out Second Life Mobile! Wishing everyone a great Second Life day!
Joined SL in 2007 and met my soulmate, been together 16 years. Congratulations on a great start!
Wow thank you for sharing your Lovely story.
i joined back in 2009 or 2010 hope my account is still there
I joined in 2007. Haven't been there since 2012. I should look into it. 😎🤓
Excellent work! I've lived in SL for over a decade and it has really helped me to discover who I am and is also a great outlet for creativity. Thank you all for being awesome.

Very important! :D

Yes, that was Lumiya. It has be defunct for a few years now. Then they tried speedlight, but it cannot render Mesh. SO this is very exciting!
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG REALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SECOND LIFE ON PHONE I CANT BELEIVE IT FINALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY NOW I CAN CARRY MY LITTEL WORLD EVERY WERE WITH ME THNAK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Okay this is the best news ever!!! So excited thank you linden labs!!!!!
Sooo excited for this!
I am almost always on the go with my busy schedule.
Having a mobile viewer with an up to date 3D view would most definitely bring me back to the grid a lot more. I'm eagerly awaiting this release for sure.
I would to update and stock my inworld stores, fun to go shopping and make sl purchases too!!!

OMFG! Amazing job, Lindens!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
I have wished for a mobile Second Life for ages! I’m delighted it’s almost here. 👏 ✨ My avatar is jumping for joy!
I really hope this will come out as opensource as slviewer is, so it will open a new potential for a new kind of third party viewers for PC as well!
Either case, I'm really excited to see this. A great celebration of 20th SL birthday!
SO... writing the mobile viewer on Unity... does this mean we will be getting a game engine update on the PC version SL as well?
This was what I was wondering...they could even launch on steam
I’ve been in SL since like 2006/2007. It’s crazy how long it’s taken for certain developments to happen. Hopefully ‘soon’ doesn’t mean next year. I wonder if voice will be available and interactivity.
I haven't played SL for years now however I'm glad to still see it around, also good to see they're adapting to new formats.
This is soooooooo awesome. I am looking forward to this. Every since my old desktop gave up the ghost I got a new laptop a few years back.

Congrats Second Life
This is missive news to all of us who still love SL.
I hope this will bring in a new generation of users and boost SL.
Thanks Lindens (:
when will the mobile game come out ? i can't wait

Then one day I needed a new phone and POOF, no more Lumiya. 😕
If this goes well, I will have to set it up on my tablet!
This is great news.
Well, that came out of left field... very promising. And possibly bad news for the Speedlight folks. How about you combine forces with them?
not if this is going to be an app and some people with older devices can't use it
they sorta alredy have if you have used it speedlight limits your online time to 5 hours a dayt unless you have premium plus wich is infinet online time so they probly are alredyt doing just that
@@teacupalice I agree with you there I am using a vivo 2, phone and it runs most games but some time Now I haven't been Abel to play most new Mobile games
It is happening 🤟🤟🤟

What is that place featured when the first guy(Mojo) speaks? It's quite lovely.
Yesss! So excited for this, hopefully it revives SL
Y’all please make this 18+ havin kids on it will ruin it just like imvu
Wow! Looks great! Really looking forward to visiting the grid on my phone.
This is really exciting, I've been keeping my eye out for a good mobile viewer for years. Hopefully I can interact with hud items on screen because I'd love to some minigames on mobile
Omg finally! Please 🙏 keep making the mobile for SL
I CANT WAIT FOR THIS!!!
Omg what a great news! I have been waiting for a mobile version for so long! Hope it does not disappoint. 😏
It already looks amazing ~ great job! Thank you Linden team x
Exciting! This could be a game changer for Linden Labs if they get this right…and market it (and themselves) properly.
It's about time!!! Only something the community has been begging for about a decade or more now.
Second Life, keep up the great work! ❤ 😊
I'm excited for the Android version
I guess this would look ok with an ipad/tablet but for me, a large percentage of the enjoyment of SL is the visuals, the amazing builds and seeing the details that people put into their avatars. I feel like this will be lost for the most part on a tiny phone screen, even with the larger "pro" phones.
Yes will help people connect also if you can on tablet as well.
Yayyy! I love second life, I am on it for hours every day for the last ten years. I am so excited for the mobile viewer advancements! Great work!
oh wow so cannot wait for this been wanting this for a long time woohoo awesome work :) ☘🍀
Thrilled!!! Thank you LL for taking this on.
i have been a second life member for years now, i have seen a few unofficial viewers for android come and go, but an official one would be interesting to see, especially if it can keep the claims they say.
Joined in 2005 and i've yet to see any of the metas come close!
Finally ❤ this will allow new players to know the game and also for the users a new way to play. Can’t wait to try it. Linden lab took his time to improve on mobile, hope it’s good and easy to use
So the only thing you can do is view? How would you change clothes create your Avatar listen to the music that plays can you voice chat?
This is definitely gonna make my phone catch fire and suck it all my data but I'm still looking forward to see how it runs
😊This helps with entire community built while the community is on the go, or relaxing while connected to wifi on travel or at home without having to bring entire laptop and function with cell phone or a tablet.
OMG I can't wait! This will be great! I've been a member of SL since 2007!
I'm super excited!!!!
Finally. Thank you.
When it releases?
Awesome!! Iam in SL since 2011 and now finally comes out
Ahhh, finally listened to entire vid....my prayers are being answered! I can experience SL on my ipad!!!! ty ty ty whoooot!!!! Cant wait for the release of the SL mobile!!! Again, ty ty ty Lindens!!!
hmm unity engine eh. this just help me make up my mind on what engine to use to make a MMO since i love SL as well. Great work with the engine Linden Lab.
I am a VJ in Second Life and I would like to know if Media will play and if users will be able to see and hear video on something like the VEA 5 TV.
I had the Lumiya viewer worked great on my phones
I used Lumiya too 👍 It wasn't the best performance wise imo (I suppose it was for the time lol), but allowed me to contact friends on the go. Glad to see they've finally realised the importance of mobile tech albeit very late 😂
Lumiya no longer has updates. The creator abandoned it some years ago. We can no longer use animations and there are issues getting dressed. And so on. It used to be good though.
I still use lumiya in a pinch.
This will be huge. Good job! Keep it up!
This looks great, for me, the question is: Since a Meta Quest/ Quest 2 is a phone chipset, will this run in VR?
there is already a really rough VR viewer built on firestorm. runs well but is super janky
i curious see we have pay use this or not?
YES! We NEED Second Life on Android and iOS 😁
When is this launching?
When mobile app comes out I'm am so getting that.. I'm always on the go
about time!!!! curious to see if this will heat up the phone fast, or takes a lot of data.
This this so far the great thing happens in 2023 ❤ thank u
I've been in SL for 14 years and I look forward to trying this.
woww thts nice❤️
Finalllllyyy thank youuu second life
This sounds good. Any possibility there will a version of SL that runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs?
I used to use SL in my android computer 15" 2GB RAM with Android 4.4.4. and in my old Samsung Pro 12.2" 3GB RAM with android 5 using Lumiya. I don't expect that it run in these. But I would love it. Anyway I have some newer tablets but with smaller screens and a iPad 9.
now am curious about a price window
When is second life being released on Android in the UK??
Had Have a mobile Viewer for Second Life since 2012... Lumiya viewer
I'm kinda happy right now for having Second Life in my mobile phone but I would like to see my avatar's inventory soon in SL app.🙏 Good job for development team in SL app.👍👏
I can't wait. I haven't used my account for so long. Hope people start using this again more - and maybe VR is attempted again? I really extremely think this idea is one i want. SL is the only Verse i have ever liked... And the only reason i dont use it is the lack of other people around sometimes
Wonder if it will cost money like the others did
can't wait
I was expecting it this fall for some reason. Will it be out before Christmas?
YESSSSSSSSS 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Is it not yet on the market?
Waiting... Hope is soon
This is awesome and I'm happy that user who have trouble running SL on PC can finally join in the virtual fun. I just hope SL will continue to update the PC version and continue to make the game as great as it can be.
Can’t wait! I’ve been a user since 2009 and im 26 now lol im curious about the customization and inventory of clothing
will it be available for iPhone?
Did you not watch the video? They stated outright that both Android and iOS would be catered for.
Amazing! Now the people that dont have a computer can stay with us in SL. Im so happy with this notice!
It’s been a minute since playing this game, finally SL has implemented a mobile port, I need to check this out
I'm waiting for second life VR.
I'm very curious and can I try it? I would also do a test on android emulators too
exciting times ahead ♥️
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
would like a bigger screen than my phone - wish SL worked on ipads...but cant wait to login SL on my phone while i'm in travel mode whooot!!!
I can't wait for it to arrive on mobile. At least those who do not have a PC can download it🎉
Well I can't wait to have this on my phone
not sure why they have such short limbs but the viewer looks alright, kinda wish we got to see if there's hud functionality or not
Wow that's great i love second life and they did a very great job on the latest viewer update on pc so i have high hope for the mobile viewer
