First Realisation of Webcam With Online Livestream From Second Life(TM)

Posted on: Tuesday, 27 March 2007, 15:00 CDT

I-D Media Berlin has realised a webcam which runs a livestream from Second Life to Internet websites. Second Life is a virtual world -- a permanently developing 3-D environment which is completely created and enhanced by its residents.

I-D Media, the service provider for digital interactive communication, developed an online webcam that can broadcast the action in the virtual world to any Internet website. Live events, product presentations, etc. can be followed by users on the home PC without having to log onto Second Life. In this way, enterprises can alert customers, multiplicators and employees to their Second Life activities via their websites, thus significantly expanding their reach. A statistics tool offers information on the number of visitors, the duration of their stay, their activities and much more.

The webcam is available as a free service as well as paid service for e.g. company presentations or events. Further information is available at www.sl-foo.com.

I-D Media developed the web service based on Second Life Open Source technology. The source code for the Second Life client technology was only released at the beginning of January, making it possible to develop applications for the virtual world.

The web service was realised by Product Development at I-D Media, which has also developed www.DizKiz.de for example -- a Web 2.0 application (a so-called mashup) where videos from various platforms can be evaluated on the "hot or not" principle with "Diz" or "Kiz."

Second Life (www.secondlife.com) has registered over four million users since October 2006. I-D Media also provides companies with consultation and supervision in setting up their own presence in Second Life as well as its integration in already existing communication channels.
