SL on IPad?

[GemmaStone9]

Can I get SL on my IPad ?

[Wulfie Reanimator]

Yes, but no, but kind of yes.

There is no proper 3D viewer for mobile devices like you have on desktop.

There are some old unsupported viewers like Lumiya floating around.

There is a browser-based viewer called SpeedLight in development. Since it runs in a browser, it even works on an iPad. It has a 3D view in development, but it's very rough.

I don't know anything for the apple. Only the Lumiya for Android, or something on a paid basis, but that's only for Android.  https://mobilegridclient.com/

Cool avatars though, much better than the jellydolls.

It's interesting that it appears to be displaying some mesh objects in the scene barring avatars. Perhaps they plan to add it in?

It has been reported that LL are working on an app for the iPhone, but it won’t have graphics or even place your av in world, just chat access.

I had an old app years ago that enabled me to access SL with both my iPhone and iPad, but that too had no graphics and was very ‘crashy’. I’ve not seen it for a long time.

Making avatars visible has a lot of implications. They need to first implement the SL skeleton, rigging data, attachments, animations, and a whole bunch of other things.

I don't know anything about their development plans.

I like this as an approach very much. I don't need to see my av for a lot of what I do inworld, so it's a good compromise in my book.
