Longer sound files has not been on the list, but perhaps it should be? Content creators should be preparing to convert any older proprietary media such as Flash or Quicktime to the newer formats soon. The new support will be focused on supporting modern formats and HTML 5. We are working on a significant upgrade to the media capabilities of the Viewer (watch for a Project Viewer release). Will there be improvements for SL media, like making sound files longer than 10 secs and making other types of streaming media other than the mov format available?Ī. We recently modified the viewer so that it assesses the speed of your GPU and estimates what capabilities it has without our needing to make continuing code changes to support new models, so as far as we know we should be able to support any card whose drivers properly support OpenGL. Q.Are there plans to upgrade SL rendering to support the latest GPUs?Ī. We don’t have any specific plans at this time, but with our open source Viewer, third parties could certainly integrate new hardware and we’ll continue to experiment from time to time. Any plans to integrate additional hardware (VR HMDs or control/input devices) with SL?Ī. Will prims with rounded edges be introduced to SL? Are any improvements to Media-on-a-Prim coming?Ī. We are constantly working on improvements for the Mainland, both for ongoing maintenance and new content or feature additions. Anyone can request to purchase abandoned land from us. We do sell abandoned land parcels on the mainland, or sometimes use them for infrastructure projects. Yes, we have added some additional areas like the Blake Sea and we are always looking for more opportunities and partners who would like to become involved with the Community Land Partnership Program. Does Linden Lab plan to make more protected space on the Mainland, like Blake Sea? Are there any plans for abandoned parcels on the Mainland? Does Linden Lab have any plans for future enhancements to Mainland in Second Life?Ī. Ebbe and other Lindens will endeavor to answer as many as we can. In this thread, we’ll start by addressing some of the audience questions we didn’t get to in that interview, but you can also add your own questions as well. The interview ended with some audience Q&A, but there wasn’t time to get to all of the audience questions, and of course not everyone was able to watch the interview live in the auditorium and ask their questions.
You can watch the video here on our Official YouTube channel. You can watch the video below, and Inara Pey has written up a transcript you can read here. As part of Second Life’s 12th birthday celebrations, Linden Lab CEO Ebbe Altberg (aka Ebbe Linden in SL) was interviewed by Saffia Widdershins and Jo Yardley.
