Love Zhaoying Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 38 minutes ago, Istelathis said: They are like keyboard shortcuts, for example when you zoom in on your mobile screen using two fingers. For a browser you can scroll up or down using an up or down gesture with one finger. A gesture would be like drawing a circle on the screen to open the inventory, or drawing an "m" on your screen to open your map. You might draw a "B" to go into build mode. Something like taping the screen with two fingers might teleport you to where your camera is located, things that make it more convenient in SL. On some phones they also have air gestures, which use the camera to perform actions on the phone basically like SL puppetry (considering they were working on this, for the PC perhaps it got shifted to the phone) In such a case, it might be possible to wave hello at your phone and your avatar would use a wave animation, or you could shake your head "no" and your avatar might likewise shake it's head no. The mobile app has "gestures" for movement (a "joystick" area on the screen), Fly/Land (tapping an area near the joystick), and Sit/Touch (although I'd hardly call "long press" a gesture). Unless I missed something, that's literally all so far. Personally, I wouldn't call any of those "gestures" in the normal "screen flick/swipe" sense except maybe the joystick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you have to first change your account "Premium Plus", then put in the request to join the Alpha testing program, then if they accept you into the program they will send you a link.. Here is a link to one of the original "news" articles, which has a link to the "sign up". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this episode our VP of Engineering Mojo Linden shared that a beta version of Second Life mobile will be coming later this year. Keep an eye on this thread for future updates! Still waiting for none vip/subscription users to be able to use this app. Still not on iPhone apple App Store. I’ve been in secondlife since clay people I’ve been waiting for this a long long long time and they failed us once before so I am on edge that there is no updates and no game footage from anyone but staff/linden labs. What are the updates? Also on a search it says 2022-2023 why? You said it’s suppose to come out in 2023 and here we now are 2024 and it’s acting like it went under in 2023 and started in 2022.

And I hate to get too far ahead of myself but great job going with a standard game engine. Unity can also work on Windows, Linux, WebGL, PS4/5, Xbox one and X|S, Oculus, Android TV, tvOS, Switch, etc. This could be huge for reaching new markets and it could easily be the biggest thing to happen SL since mesh. I’d absolutely love to see them put it on Xbox one and newer. That would be awesome to play it on consoles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istelathis Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I haven't heard very much about it in a while, new world notes does have some updates on mobile though https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2024/01/second-life-mobile-app-ipad.html Their source's blog https://juicybomb.com/2024/01/second-life-mobile-app-for-ios-private-alpha-test/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 LL sends update emails to the Alpha participants regularly, about changes that are being worked on. These updates seem to go out about weekly. The have links directly to user reports, with the Linden replies, etc. So the process is very, very transparent to those of us in the program. Since I joined the program, I only saw one new "release" announced of the viewer app. (The changes must mostly be server-side.) I've occasionally seen references to things I missed or didn't try yet, like group chat, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it so no one will ever see it, sigh. If nobody comments on it, then you won't see it pop-up in the "unread". And, probably most people aren't aware of the relatively new "Mobile" Sub-Forum under the Technology Forum. That's not "hidden". Again, I am not sure you are serious. Maybe you don't spend a lot of time in the Technology Forum? Threads don't "become invisible". Most people just read recent posts, in the General or "Your Avatar" section. Sorry they can't make everyone happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Legion Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 @Love Zhaoying Many do not bother to actually look at anything outside of very specific categories and have the viewpoint that if it is not in General Discussion (up in the first Category) or in one of the places they frequent ... Then it is either buried or does not exist. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 One odd thing about this thread (buried or not), is that is is an "official" post - that allows comments. There aren't a lot of those, and the fact this one is "buried" probably explains why it doesn't get more posts. I think a lot of us more "frequent" posters also depend on "news" about certain items. If there's "no news", then..there's "no news". I expect there won't be more news about the Mobile effort until some major change, such as finishing the Alpha program, etc. Why? Because nobody can SEE those changes (unless they - LL - post another video of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never use the unread feed. I just see which topics are highlighted as I scroll through. The ones with the SL hand on the left side that are highlighted have unread content. If I tap on that, I can designate it as read even if I haven't read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriele Graves Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Back on topic, I'm happy to wait until LL and all the unpaid suckers volunteers have got it nice and all polished up before taking a look. Would definitely be handy to use from time-to-time but I cannot imagine using it a great deal personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I always do, it is hard to remember that. I never use the unread feed. Yep! I was referring to our conversation about it. 🙂 Do you think that if other people use the Forum as you do, maybe they miss posts such as in this thread because the post "rolls off" the "recent posts" status (due to "not enough recent updates"). Or perhaps, as shown in your screen shot, "mobile" is far down enough that people using your method may miss the updates if they don't scroll down? The point, being on topic: I was thinking about starting a topic such as "Mobile Viewer Update Thread" in General, since a lot of people may only read General and this thread really doesn't get any love at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
