Second Life is coming to 3G via Vollees streaming mobile games service.
Vollee is in beta trials for the Second Life Grid platform (an inter-connected platform which extends beyond the mainland of Second Life itself) reformatting the online world to fit on phone screens while mapping the handset commands. It involves a download to a 3G device.Vollee’s proprietary solution streams high-end PC games to mobile, taking account of screen size and key layout. Its video streaming platform uses compression to minimise bandwidth requirements.
“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.”
