NIFLAR on virtyou Opensim

We are especially happy to welcome the participants of the NIFLAR Project today amongst the VirtoUsers!
NIFLAR, the Networked Interaction in Foreign Language Acquisition and Research is a cooperation of eight European Universities, coordinated by the University of Utrecht, Nederlands. The Project focusses on Language Learning in Virtual Environments, and they have a long history researching both Opensim and Second Life under the aspect of Language Learning. The following video gives you a good introduction into the goals of the project:

NIFLAR will inhabit 3 Sims on the Maingrid, provided with Freeswitch Voice and a special environment to install preconfigured OAR files on-the-fly. We are currently reviewing the Whisper Voice Solution, that runs with configurable Speex Codec and promises to give a better speech quality. So, if you should meet Spanish, English, Portugese or Dutch Avatars on virtyou in the next time, give them a hearty welcome!
