Hi guys,
Check this article from CNET: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-20004451-56.html Quoting from the article: Quote: The effort combines speech recognition, machine translation, and text-to-speech technology to let two people who don't share a common language nonetheless carry on a phone conversation... it's far from perfect, but even being able to get the gist of what someone is saying without sharing a common language is pretty cool. It seems that most of the Star Trek technologies are already here! So, what's next? Holograms/holodecks or warp drive? Well, warp drive will take a bit longer  _________________ "Never give up.

Holograms are already here and have been for some time. Ok, they're not the force field-defined sentient beings we know them as in Trek, they're currently just projections of light. But they're coming along. I was actually fooled by a hologram a few years ago; it was a hologram of a small toy. I went to grab it and my hand went straight through. The hologram was soo perfect I still couldn't tell the difference even when I knew it wasn't real, and believe me I tried.
Holographic tv's are in development too. So now all we need is the actual jump to holodecks and Warp drive and we'll be meeting the Vulcans in no time.  _________________ "Anyone without a sense of humour is truly at the mercy of the rest of us."  |

Go to Trekmovie.com and search her name.
http://trekmovie.com/?s=jolene+Blalock& ... tton=go%21 Do the same at the IMDB http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0086883/ Last I saw she was trying to reach you. It was something about your lucky day.  _________________ |
