One of the oldest debates among Second Life users is about how to merge Second Life better with the rest of the web. Folks have argued for the ability to have interactive HTML browsing inside Second Life for years but the issue has its detractors. A new release from the Electric Sheep might signal a bit of a positive sea-change, though.
Thanks to their involvement in the CSI: New York Project, the Sheep have developed a new viewer interface for Second Life that looks more like a browser.
Notice the back button, “My Stuff”, and “Shopping” buttons on the OnRez viewer. The changes are intended to help newbies who join via the CSI project get around without having to learn too much Second Life jargon. It’s a super smart idea.
According to the Sheep press release, the new viewer will be available to new users who register through the CSI site and existing SL uses on October 24.
