Speak Avatar! Voice Coming to Second Life
Second Life creator, Linden Labs CEO Phillip Rosedale said during a keynote speech at a tech conference this week that he hopes to see voice officially launched in Second Life within the next several months.
"There are a lot of problems with telephony when doing conference calls. You can't tell who's talking if there's more than one person. But in the virtual world, voice solves it," said Rosedale, noting that avatars with three-dimensional voice integration will likely accelerate using Second Life for holding virtual conference meetings.
Other plans in the works for Second Life include adding the ability to scan users' photos onto their avatars and bringing more realism into the virtual world through detail-oriented design.
