Well folks, according to IBM Japan, the technology company has accepted the challenge of creating a VRMMO ( like the one shown in the anime Sword Art Online , a simulation of the game ), a work by the author Reki Kawahara .
The project was named Sword Art Online: The Beginning , and an official website was launched where IBM is accepting applications to select 208 people to test the game.
The proposal aims to showcase the advancements IBM has made in "cognitive computing" and its potential. After being digitally scanned in 3D, participants will be able to interact with the environment using IBM Cloud Services and SoftLayer technologies.
Sword Art Online follows "Kirito" Kirigaya, a young man who enters a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) called Sword Art Online, where to leave he must win and where Game Over means the player's death.
