Vollee brings Second Life to life

Second Life is coming to 3G via Vollee’s 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.”
