What Is Bridge?

Bridge is a cloud-based, multi-service HUD. It allows you to access web-based services from within virtual environments (such as Second Life, Sansar, In-World, OpenSim, etc.) and MMOs (such as World of Warcraft) by connecting these accounts through a Google account. You can also install custom apps (we call them 'plugins') to interact with specific environments. Check out our ever-changing slideshow for more information!

Cloud-Based

Bridge uses Google APIs to backup and manage your data. No personal information is stored on Bridge devices - if you transfer your device to another user it will sync with their information,not yours.

Multi-Service HUD

With Bridge you can access a number of web-based features from within Second Life. These features include:
Social Media accounts - You can login to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest
Communicate - You can use Skype to communicate
Listen to Music or watch Videos - YouTube, Pandora, Sound Cloud
Access Second Life features - Marketplace, Destination Guide, Map
Limited Use of Google Suite - Gmail, Calendar, Blogger, Drive*, Translate, Keep (List making & note taking), & more.
You can even create your own plugins to interact with your world in your own way!

Plugins (Example: VMA)

Part of Bridge’s multi-service capability includes the creation of plugins. Plugins allow you to use Bridge as an interface for in-game functions. Our first example of this is the Venue Management Assistant (VMA) plugin. VMA allows parcel owners/managers/staff to kick, ban, send home, and greet guests and otherwise manage a parcel. Designed with Live Performance venues in-mind, VMA can be used with wedding venues, roleplay parcels, and any other location where being able to take action with the click of a button would be helpful.

Because Bridge is cloud-based, VMA also connects to a number of web-based tools that can be accessed from outside of Second Life such as a behavior log where you can see whom other venues have banned and why and then determine if you want to ban them or not. You can even isolate a specific guest and see how often they visit your venue so you can see who your true fans are!

There is a similar system for performers that allows them to keep in-touch with fans.
