See Lag for more information. Basic Screen - This is the basic screen layout when no other floating windows are open. The main part of the screen shows the 3D view, with top menu bar and bottom toolbar above and below. The following sections will describe the parts of the screen layout in more detail, and gives links to added pages with more information. The downloadable Quickstart Guide is especially useful for first time users while learning to navigate in the viewer window.

The 3D view is still there, but a good portion of the screen is filled with other items. Note that the first photo is in the grey default skin, and the second is in the alternate silver skin. If you have multiple monitors, you can extend the Viewer window across more than one of them, but floating windows must stay within the edges of the main program window. The 3D view area displays a portion of the Second Life grid around your current location. The view is generated in real time by the graphics card or chip in your computer, using data that is sent from the server.

Since Second Life is a live environment, objects and avatars will appear and disappear, move, and change constantly. The server keeps track of all of this, and sends updated data as soon as possible, and then your view is updated. Therefore if the server is too busy or your internet connection is slow, your view might lag behind what is happening.

Various pop-up messages, pop-up menus, warning messages, error messages, context menus, floating windows, and Head Up Displays can appear over the 3D view. Most can be closed or minimized if they are blocking your view. They are discussed in more detail below.

The camera viewpoint is normally located above and behind your "Avatar" the character that represents you.

As you move around, the camera view will follow. The view width is approximately 90 degrees quarter circle , but this depends on your zoom level and window aspect ratio. Therefore to see in other directions, you must turn or change your camera viewpoint.

If you are close to a wall, the view will attempt to move itself out of the way, but sometimes it will end up inside a wall or other object. You can zoom in and out using the mouse scroll wheel if you have one. If you scroll all the way in, you will enter "mouselook" mode, which is from the viewpoint of your avatar's head. In mouselook, moving the mouse will let you look in other directions.

Your avatar will face in the direction you were looking when you leave mouselook. Holding the ALT key down changes the mouse pointer to a magnifying glass. Clicking the left mouse button LMB will recenter the view wherever the pointer was.

By a combination of zooming out, recentering, and orbiting, it is possible to move your camera view quite far from your avatar. If you release the camera view keys and then stand or walk, your view will automatically return to normal. The Esc key will return the view to normal without moving your avatar. If the chat box is closed, they will move according to the table. The four arrow keys can also be used to move and turn.

PgUp is a jump. The arrow keys will work whether the chat box is open or not. Single clicking will make you walk, double clicking the direction keys will make you run. If you hold the E or PgUp key, you will start to fly, unless flying is blocked on the parcel.

The PgDn key is used to land when flying. Local Chat can be heard by any other avatar within listening range 20 meters by default. Instant messages are only seen by the person or persons it is opened to, but has unlimited range, and can even be saved offline up to a point. Group chat is with any members of a group who are online and choose to continue reading it.

Voice chat uses a microphone and can be used in local mode with avatars near your location, or call mode, which is like a private phone call. You can use animations to make your avatar do things, for example dance with another avatar. You can also use objects which contain software scripts inside them, for example shoot a gun which has a script to fire bullets.
