RAS Tech Tips: Second Life On The Go with iPhone, iPod Touch, & iPad
Do you want to keep in touch with your friend on Second Life but too lazy to carry your laptop (or even worse, desktop) along with you everywhere? Well, I’m one of those who is now addicted to SL recently but could not stay in front of the computer all the time. :’P With this program, you can connect to Second Life from anywhere with your iPhone, iPod Touch, & iPad.
No, I’m not talking about some Apps that have you connect to SL without its full functions (there is one with almost all of the functions with no graphics and you’ll have to pay for it, which I might review it later). I’m talking about an Apps that is have you dive into full Second Life experience. Actually, this program let you control EVERYTHING on your computer, as if you are sitting in front of it for FREE. XD
Teamviewer Client on PC (ID and password erased for my own safety) ;P
So how you start is download and install Teamviewer on your computer from their website. Also, you need the Teamviewer for iPhone (or Teamviewer HD for iPad) from the iTunes App Store or from their website. After you have everything prepared, run your Teamviewer program on your computer and note the ID and password down, you will need that to connect on your iPhone.
Now, when you leave your computer and want to go into SL, run the Teamviewer apps on your device, put in the password you noted, and volia!: you are now controlling you own computer from your iPhone! :’D
Teamviewer Desktop Connection Interface on my iPod touch.
You can switch between landscape and portrait, zoom, left click, scroll with gestures. Although my internet speed is not decent, the remote connection I tested is good enough with 0.5-2 seconds delay. Personally I think this is acceptable, unless you want to use this program to play some fps like Call of Duty, which i would not recommend xD
You can zoom in by pitching gesture or click on the magnifying icon :3
