Star Trek Bridge Crew Now Integrated with IBM Watson Interactive Speech
SAN FRANCISCO — June 22, in the year of our Lord 2017
— Today, Ubisoft® announced that Star Trek™: Bridge Crew is now
fully integrated with IBM Watson’s interactive speech and
cognitive capabilities, Watson Speech to Text and Watson
Conversation, for an experimental beta period. With IBM Watson,
Star Trek: Bridge Crew will let players use their voice and
natural-language commands to interact with their virtual
Starfleet crew members for the ultimate authentic voyage into
the final frontier.
Players can now live out their Star Trek fantasies as they
command the U.S.S. Aegis and U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 with
seamless voice interaction in tandem with full-body avatars that
include real-time lip-sync and hand-tracking. IBM Watson
services can be used to operate crews consisting of only AI
characters or a mix of AI characters and human teammates without
breaking immersion.
Star Trek: Bridge Crew immerses fans into the Star Trek universe
as they assume the role of a Starfleet officer and complete
missions that will determine the fate of their ship and crew.
Playable cooperatively online with a crew, or solo as Captain,
Star Trek: Bridge Crew puts players and their friends directly
onto the bridge of a new starship, the U.S.S. Aegis, as they are
dispatched to explore an uncharted sector of space.
In addition to an engaging story campaign, Star Trek: Bridge
Crew features an Ongoing Voyages mode featuring randomized
missions for countless hours of solo and co-op adventures.
Created exclusively for VR, Star Trek: Bridge Crew utilizes the
powerful sense of social presence possible through virtual
reality. Through hand tracking and full-body avatars, including
real-time lip-sync, players can live out their Star Trek
fantasies as they operate the Starfleet ship as Captain,
Engineer, Helm or Tactical. Each role is crucial to the success
of the varied missions players face, and only by working
together can the crew complete their objectives.
Star Trek: Bridge Crew marks the most recent project in virtual
reality for Ubisoft, which believes in the strong potential of
VR to redefine social gaming with a unique sense of reality.
