It’s here! Second Life announced their new viewer specifically for the Oculus Rift is now available for download. This means users of Oculus Rift will be able to get a full, immersive experience in Second Life. Second Life has been in the virtual world business for over 10 years, so there is solid community and an enormous amount of rich content.

The Project Viewer features:

• Full Oculus Rift Hardware Support – includes automatic hardware detection and display calibration for quick and easy setup.

• Full UI Support – users can access the entire Second Life UI and HUDs while in Oculus Rift mode, so there are no limitations on what a user can do inworld while using the headset.

• Customizable UI – users can tailor the settings for Oculus Rift mode that work best for their needs.

• Avatar Head Motion – Oculus Rift head-tracking data is mapped to the avatar, so users’ avatars look where they do.

• New First-Person View – allows users to enjoy the immersion previously available with mouselook mode, but thanks to the Oculus Rift, the mouse is free again to control the cursor, allowing for interaction with the UI and objects inworld.

• “Align to Look” – allows users to quickly start moving the direction they are looking.

• “Action Key” – interact with objects by pressing a key, works great in mouselook mode.
