Mobile gaming solution developer Vollee has launched a free beta application allowing users to access Linden Lab 3D virtual world Second Life through their qualified 3G or Wi-Fi enabled handsets.

Vollee’s technology intelligently adapts applications for screen size and key layout, and then streams the original application to mobile devices. The developer's interactive video streaming platform optimizes compression to minimize bandwidth, allowing gamers to navigate 3D spaces.

After downloading Vollee's client to their handsets and logging in to their existing Second Life, users will be able to look up friends, interact, and communicate online with other avatars in the online world.

Said Linden Lab business development manager Christopher Mahoney, "Vollee offers the perfect Second Life mobile service that brings our virtual world to handsets in a way that is ideal for connecting our Residents. We look forward to the new and exciting ways people will be able to extend their Second Life experience through this new service.”
