MWC 2008: Second Life now runs on... an iPhone?!

In a layman's nutshell, all the processing is being done NOT on the iPhone, on a central server. All that's being streamed to the iPhone is the visuals - essentially, a video feed of the Second Life environment. Then, when you tap the on-screen buttons to move, or type in a message, that's sent back up to the server for processing.

How does it work?
The virtual world is adapted for mobile and streamed directly from Vollee's powerful servers to 3G enabled handsets, giving access to the vast and ever expanding world of Second Life.

What type of phone do I need to have?
Vollee service requires high speed connections, so you need to have a 3G enabled phone. We will be releasing supported phone list shortly.

Vivaty 3-D chat rooms and social environments

Vivaty wants to offer a smaller but easier to access version of multiplayer platforms like Second Life.

clipped from www.nytimes.com

Vivaty, a start-up based in Menlo Park, Calif., is creating 3-D virtual chat rooms that people can add to the Web pages and social networking profiles on the sites where they spend most of their Internet time.

Vivaty turns a flat profile page into a three-dimensional live chat room. Users choose characters to represent themselves from a list of preternaturally handsome avatars — a requirement for any such service — and proceed to one of a dozen environments, like a gothic urban warehouse or seaside villa.
