For all of you SAO fans out there, IBM Japan is in the works of a SAO MMORPG VR project which will be unveiled later in March. The Virtual Reality game will feature a "cognitive system" which is what IBM uses to make human-like decisions in its Ai such as Watson and "soft Layer" which is their could-based system which will allow the open world to exist.Here is their trailer:While we're not certain if it's an actual video-game like Guild Wars, or World of Warcraft or just a mere concept demo, we're pretty excited to see VR getting ground particularly with inspiration from SAO. Hopefully in this demo there will be a Logout button.If you are interested in applying for the alpha test, there are 208 slots available (why 208 and not 210 or 200?) you can visit their website over at http://www.vrmmo-project.jp/ and give it a go.
