Players of the virtual reality game Star Trek Bridge Crew will be able to control the Starship Aegis using voice commands, following a collaboration with IBM's supercomputer. IBM Watson works with a program called Conversation to interpret the commands. The game was released last month, but the new voice command feature will be unlocked on Thursday. One player, the captain, can play with two other crew members played either by other people or by the computer. "The idea is you can now talk to your bridge crew, and that part has been powered by Watson," said Joshua Carr, technical liaison at IBM. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-40357869
