Easy-to-Use Viewer Debuts in Conjunction With CSI: New York Virtual Experience

The Electric Sheep Company, the leading media and technology company focused on virtual worlds, today introduced OnRez, a new viewer for the 3D virtual world Second Life®. As part of its efforts to bring virtual worlds to the mass market, The Electric Sheep Company created the OnRez viewer to improve the Second Life experience and lower the barrier to entry for new users.

OnRez is the first viewer to be commercially licensed by Linden Lab®, the developer of Second Life. The user interface resembles familiar Web browsers and is focused on bringing the Web and virtual worlds closer together. It also combines Second Life features, such as teleporting, with sophisticated OnRez services for virtual shopping and searching. In addition to an easy-to-use user interface, the OnRez viewer also features the ability for users to more effectively browse the Web within the Second Life environment.
