Interesting talk by John Burwell of Forterra Inc this morning at the Serious Virtual Worlds 07 conference in Coventry. He demonstrated their virtual world platform, the same platform used to deliver there.com (or a development of it I think), showing its use to train people for disaster recovery scenarios.The interesting thing for me though was the addition of detailed facial animation to avatars so that the face animates while speaking. This appeared, at least via video, to make voice a much more engaging experience than it is currently in Second Life.
It'll be interesting to see if (or when) this kind of feature gets added to Second Life. I hope so.
