IBM Japan has taken on a project of making the VRMMO world of Reki Kawahara’s Sword Art Online light novels into reality, hopefully sans the whole brain frying deaths thing. A site has been launched for applications for 208 lucky souls to alpha test SAO. Applicants will be selected by lottery to try out the experience in Tokyo on March 18 and 20.
Participants will be scanned in 3D to interact with the virtual space using IBM’s Cloud Services and SoftLayer technologies. Kirito (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka), Asuna (Haruka Tomatsu) and Yui (Kanae Ito) will be lending their voices for this project.
This is a very informative short film on the history of IBM. Here is a tech firm that has truly helped the development of society through innovations in the fields of business, healthcare, education, and more! Whether it is Thinkpads (now owned by Lenovo) or SAP (an business solutions company) or even bar-codes and scan-trons. IBM has affected our lives in one way or another.
