IBM tests instant translation service
|
 London, UK (MD): After a few IBM staff members were put off SL thanks to too many normal punters approaching them with offers of virtual intimacy, IBM now has its own personal orientation trail away from the prying eyes of the public. Which leaves me thinking "ooo, get you". Other things they've been mucking about with include, making presentations available in SL for customers and IBM staff, trying out real world stuff (turn on a fan in SL and it turns on in the real world, for example) and a translation service that lets you instantly translate conversations in SL so you can talk to foreign folk without any language barrier.
