What is this?

This is an art project (NYU Interactive Telecommunications) using VR/Interactive 3D software Virtools, IVR and web programming. The purpose to to have a rich user interaction using increasingly mature technologies that are intuitive and scale for web audiences and larger groups. The idea is that phone keys or speech can navigate 3D spaces.

Here is a "2D" web test I made that uses a Java applet so that the Object can move around the screen with IVR input (you can download Java3 quickly here). Would be great for maps or games!

The flower - if you scroll further down - is a pre-recorded simulation of how VoiceXML can control 3D objects.

Please contact me for a demo or to discuss applications.

SIGGRAPH 2006

A good show, not quite as good as last year. There was no ostensible voice to virtual reality work, but a lot of what I saw is begging to be speech enabled.

Here were the "best of show" im(not so)ho:

Pixels in Space?

Truly remarkable
