Clickable Culture has posted a long write up of some experimental technology in the works from a company called Vivox that will enable Voice Over Internet Protocal calls to made inside and out from VR
worlds like Second Life. What a trip. The company sees it as a way to
enable foreign language immersion learning and goodness knows what else. You can even call out into the real world from inside another world. Given the Second Life/Walmart comparisons being made I can't help but insist that my avatar is not going to be taking a job working in a Second Life call center. Nor is he going to accept telemarketing calls from other avatars, ok?
