Future projects with Forterra, he said, could include virtual simulations of intelligence missions in reproduced physical locations.
The trigger for the excitement was Siri, the artificial intelligence based virtual assistant introduced for the first time in an iPhone.
The most revolutionary leap would be the creation of virtual humans, typically called Artificial Intelligence.

Siri is a virtual assistant packaged into the iPhone 4S and is being hailed as proof that speech recognition and artificial intelligence are ready for prime time.
