Second Life Project Viewers

A Second Life Project Viewer is an early release from a Viewer development team to provide a preview of one or more new features for which you can get the source code. For more information about Project Viewers, click here.

DISPLAY NAMES

Display Names is a new feature currently under development. It breaks the current Second Life name into two - a unique username used to log in along with a non-unique name that is visible above your head inworld called a Display Name.

Download this Viewer if you would like to get an early look at Display Names. Note: this Viewer defaults to accessing the development grid known as "Aditi", not the live, production grid.

Third-Party Viewers

Many Second Life developers, outside of Linden Lab, offer alternative Second Life viewers. To ensure that all Second Life Residents who use third-party viewers have a positive and predictable experience, we have created a Policy on Third-Party Viewers.

To learn more, please visit the Second Life Third-Party Viewer Directory, a listing of third-party viewers created by developers who have agreed to comply with our policy.

Please review the Second Life Viewer Support Policy.
