Volumetric displays create visual representations of objects in three dimensions, with an almost 360-degree spherical viewing angle in which the image changes as the viewer moves around. True volumetric displays fall into two categories: swept volume displays and static volume displays. Swept volume displays use the persistence of human vision to re-create volumetric images from rapidly projected 2D “slices.” Static volume displays use no major moving parts to display images, but rather rely on a 3D volume of active elements (Volumetric Picture Elements, or voxels) changing color (or transparency) to display a solid option.

VoiceXML is an XML-based language supported by more than 200 companies. It was founded by AT&T, IBM, Lucent and Motorola. The purpose of VoiceXML is to develop interactive voice-controlled applications.

A voice-enabled residential/small-office gateway/router with embedded DSL modem, also known as an xDSL IAD, is part of a voice-over-DSL solution. It enables the bundling of multiple derived voice lines, high-speed data and continuous Internet access over a single DSL connection. It typically combines a DSL modem with a router, firewall and varying plain old telephone service (POTS) port configurations. It can be a wired device or include a wireless access point.

In its widest sense, voice switching, control and applications (VSCA) refers to the functions performed in a network that alter the path taken by information as it traverses that network, whether in real time or near real time. In this sense, switching includes packet-routing technologies (for example, Internet Protocol (IP), asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and frame relay). The markets tracked in the switching category include well-known ones, such as softswitches, call session control function (CSCF), application servers and media gateways.
Industry:Technology
A voice response unit (VRU) is an automated telephone answering system consisting of hardware and software that allows the caller to navigate through a series of prerecorded messages and use a menu of options through the buttons on a touch-tone telephone or through voice recognition.
Industry:Technology
Voice response systems (VRSs) are specialized technologies designed for providing callers with verbal and faxed answers to inquiries without assistance from a person. They provide account information, fulfill requests for mailable items, prescreen callers for script customization, interact with host systems (read and write) and produce reports.
Industry:Technology
A voice portal uses advanced speech recognition technology and provides access to information on the Internet. Key components of most voice portals are speech recognition, text to speech, information aggregation, categorization software, telephony and Internet interfaces, and administrative interfaces. Optional components include software to support context-sensitive, personalized assistance (for example, an intelligent assistant) and support for VoiceXML.
