New York’s IBM Research has partnered with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to provide Chinese language students with a 360-degree VR experience in which they can practice the language in virtual situations, such as a Beijing shopping street or a Chinese restaurant. The VR experience uses AI technology to respond to the students in real-time. Speech recognition algorithms, along with movement and gesture-tracking cameras, enable the students to interact with virtual people in a realistic way.
