hello eveyone i came across this post on facebook (of all places) and thought id share it here, an alpha build of second life support (with head tracking!) is now available for anyone to test. It does not have UI in the rift mode but there is a keyboard toggle to switch between the two. should be perfect for exploring however

and a personal note

IN YOUR FACE 3dxchat! You cant compete with this now! 🙂

(im not the maker of this program just someone who found the link) :-).

I was about to post this too xD - if you want to truly lose yourself in what secondlife has to offer with the rift - come and visit my sim 'surreal effects' -

http://secondlife.com/destination/surreal-effects

Play the music stream while you explore with the rift and I can guarantee you will be as amazed and submerged in this place as I was 😄

Do let me know what you think though guys (the sim itself I created to bring to people of secondlife a submersive world to explore and relax as well as host my poetry and photography and even without the rift people are enjoying the place).

Can't wait to try this out when I get my DevKit. Second Life is going to look so amazing with it! 😄

LOL... That weeklength try might turn out much longer after you get a taste of SL using the Rift... Today I had a super long exploration over various sims, making a note of those that are worth visiting. It just is not the same anymore without it 0_o

The image resolution in Second Life is very bad. And makes me sick...

You mean the Oculus resolution?
SL graphics are pretty good.

So why the resolution is much worse in Second Life? The resolution is bad in all games, but in Second Life is even worse...

I don't know, I haven't seen what you've seen.
But you have to keep in mind that everything you see in SL was made by regular users, not game designers.
It can look quite stunning if you have your settings at ultra and visit the right places.

Here is a taste of what it looks like to some of us;
