Your Trekkie Communicator Is Ready
In a page taken right out of Star Trek, Vocera Communications has developed "com badges". It's very easy to use, simply touch the badge and say the name of the person you wish to talk to. The devices relays this information to a server where it is compared against a database entry. The server then locates that person on the network and notifies them of the incoming request. The badges weigh only 2 ounces, contains a DSP chip along with a WiFi-like functionality, and the actual conversation is done using VOIP. Sounds like a voice based instant messenger. :lol: Very cool. Now that Microsoft has released their Speech Server, maybe we'll see this functionality integrated into the next versions on MSN Messenger.
