Bot Technology In Second Life For Medical Training

I’m impressed with this YouTube video, done my my SL Roundtable colleague Kali Pizzaro. “Colin,” the bot shown, can reply to simple text-chat questions, and as this technology develops, it could provide a good training simulation for medical professionals.

Kali’s original post on this notes how the test demonstrates “our work on connecting “Second Life” avatar-patient-bots with specially written AIML [artificial intelligence markup language] and speech synthesis software. Hopefully we’ll add speech recognition too.”
