We finally got the early release out for everyone with Oculus Rift to try.
Kanien’kéha Voice commands are working for a few colors (Kahontsi, Otsinekwar, Ohonte, Oronia - black, yellow, green, blue).
TODO NEXT:
- Verify Vive Features. We do not have a Vive to develop and test with yet, so it might take a while to make that happen for our Vive friends. ̱
- Add more Colors for Voice Commands
- Add features: scoring, multiplayer, leaderboard
Kanien’kéha dialects do not have the standard tech foundation that english and mainstream languages have (speech engines, tts, etc) so we painfully hacked work arounds using English language speech engines. Hacking makes the Kanien’kéha Voice Command system a very slow, tedious, costly and painful development process but we are moving through it as quickly & cheerfully as possible.
English language does not have the same pronunciation, grammar rules as Kanien’kéha dialects - Kanien’kéha dialects are all currently sharing only one iso code (so sad because squishing 7 dialects into one iso code is creating a nightmare legacy in the tech world for any future generations that hope to communicate with Kanien’kéha dialects using modern communication devices) .
So, we are hacking to use what we do have available to make it possible to practice speaking the Kanien’kéha words that do not have nasal sounds.
If you want to hear & practice speaking specific Kanien’kéha dialects, words, phrases that are relevant to colors, garden, spring season - let us know because we focus our resources on what the majority of people are asking for.
