In Second Life, you can use the mouse to look around. This mode is known as "mouselook." In mouselook, your view appears as if you were looking through your avatar's eyes. Moving your mouse causes your avatar and your view to turn; moving right makes your view turn to the right, and so on. Some objects in Second Life (such as guns) have special functions while in mouselook. To enter Mouselook, press the M key. For the best results, make sure you are not typing text in the Chat bar (or else you will just type an "m"). If your mouse has a scroll wheel, you can often roll the scroll wheel up repeatedly to zoom into your avatar until you enter mouselook. To exit mouselook, press ESC, or roll the mouse scroll wheel down. While in Mouselook, the left and right arrow key (and A and D keys) will cause your avatar to walk left and right (or "strafe"), instead of turning. In addition, while flying in Mouselook, the Up arrow (or W) will move you in the direction you are facing, while the Down arrow (or S) will move you in the opposite direction. While flying, the PgUp and PgDn keys (or E and C) will move your avatar vertically relative to the direction you are looking. So, if you are looking straight down while flying in Mouselook, PgUp will move you forward (not up) and PgDn will move you backward.

Advanced Mouselook Options

You can find some additional mouselook settings in your Preferences settings. Go to Edit > Preferences, then click the Input & Camera tab:

• Mouse Sensitivity: Controls how far your view will turn, relative to how far you moved your mouse. If you set this setting very high, your view will shift dramatically when you make very small movements with your mouse in mouselook.
• Invert Mouse: Reverses the up and down axis of your mouse; moving your mouse up will point your view down, and vice versa. You may find this setting more natural if you are used to playing flight simulator games.
• Show Avatar in Mouselook: Allows you to see yourself when in Mouselook. If you look down, you will see your feet. If you're holding an object like a gun in front of your face, you will be able to see it. Wearing glasses does not generally interfere with your vision if you have this setting turned on.
