voice in sl — the following conversation was taking place simultaneously alongside the others

[14:57] Galactic Baroque knows of a avie that will not use voice because he thinks it will make the avatar seem less real
[14:58] Lizzo Dreamscape: voice alters the illusion.
[14:58] Extropia DaSilva: Galactic is right. Voice just seems like somebody from another reality as possessed the person in SL.
[14:58] Roy Smashcan: I'd say voice was really controversial when it was coming out.
[14:59] Lizzo Dreamscape: using voice... why not get on the telephone... fine.. but different.
[14:59] CeAire Decosta: At least with text chat we can all "talk" at the same time and more-or-less not drown each other out!
[14:59] Tom Bukowski: voice is so interesting, that's a great question
[15:00] Tom Bukowski: what it does or does not do to virtual worlds
[15:00] Extropia DaSilva: One day, with improved tech, maybe voice will be acceptable. But right now, if this discussion was in voice we would still not have started, because of all the trouble getting it to work.
[15:00] CeAire Decosta: LOL Extropia!
[15:01] Extropia DaSilva: Well, it is true. Every time I go to a meeting that uses voice you get drop out, echoes, white noise, feedback. It is awful.
[15:02] LoCE99Ch8 Morpork: Try West of Ireland Library for voice that works.
[15:02] Riven Homewood: What I love about text is that we can have these various conversations going on at the same time without interrupting each other
