Progress on the Open Allure project http://openallureds.org
has led to demonstrated capabilities relating to voice recognition http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfKTk6rgWsA (and, more broadly, "gesture" or touchless pointing at http://bit.ly/openallure ) which suggest the potential for this type of system to become a viable and successful platform for collaborative development of intelligent interactive tutors which talk, watch, listen and respond in pedagogically meaningful ways on a wide variety of topics. The code for Open Allure is open source Python and the current version taps into the pygame, nltk and BeautifulSoup libraries. Please take a look at the demonstration video(s) and consider, at least, sharing your ideas at http://www.allourideas.org/openallure If you'd like to be kept updated with developments on the project, please subscribe to the YouTube channel (above) or the Google discussion list at http://bit.ly/openalluregg Your insights and contributions will be much appreciated.
