The 2nd Industrial Virtual Reality Show & Conference was held on June 22-25 at the Makuhari Messe near Tokyo.
According to the speaker Virtual Reality has emerged from different perspectives, like tele-robotics, CAD, human-interface for computer science, simulators, art and amusement, and tele-communications.
Virtual Reality should consist of a life-size 4-dimensional environment, integration of all human senses, interactivity, and multi-user sharing of the virtual space.
The Cyber-space system of networked users is not only applicable for entertainment, but easily extendable to tele-shopping, tele- concerts and tele-education.
Or as in this case for registration to event planning.
The Internet is more and more a virtual world, but it still lacks the "human touch" to completely involve the customers.
Interactivity is good, but talking is better.
Ask 1000 people and 99% will answer that a telephone call is still much better than instant messaging.
The fortune of it was just in the fact that writing on a computer is much, much, cheaper than talking on a phone and the cheap VoIP do not have quality enough many times to allow a good conversation.
So, what do I think of the human voice on a website?
Words are more immediate. We all heard the human voice before seeing our mother's face.
We all were used to noise much sooner than seeing the world outside.

Spoken words are symbols of mental experience and written words are the symbols of spoken words.
I personally prefer the symbol to the symbol of the symbol.
