I don't know Narf, After all what is a search engine? Take Google, but a GUI on it, throw in the IVRs what we navigate every day calling companies (Individual Voice Response), and you pretty much have the basics of what you are talking about. The devil/demon/dark enity is in making it work together, but where I work we already have a system that does a query based on your IVR response. Oh, and yes IVRs can understand speech, it doesn't have to be "press 1 to inhale, press 2 to exhale" type thing. It can take direction based on your vocal inputs. The only additional componet is a render program which others here would know about better then me. I think would might have to set a ratio 50 pixels = 1 foot type thing or work in straight pixels but again nothing new. Just a new way of making it work together... and voice driven!.

My ISP has a voice-responce system. I don't find it very usefull or intelligent; I generally ask for a human. Again, what you are talking about is one of the steps to what I am talking about. Just think about all the things that would be needed to do what the ST:NG holodeck does, programming-wise. (I don't think we could manage that level of real-3d interactivity any time soon.
)
A learning neural-net would be essential. Among other things, the compiler would have to learn how to program what you want.
I think, five 'brains'. I got the idea (And mutated it slightly, out of a book called 'saucer'. Light reading, only read the Last half). One Speculator brain. This would be the most sophisticated; it would come up with whole theories out of 'what if?'. One Connecter brain (I had a better word but I have a slight headache and I forgot), this would take two theories and see if it can make a third. One Randomizer (Again, I had a better word) brain, this would simply jump off in some direction and see if whatever it hit tied in somewhere. Essentially like the speculator, but with no logic. The fourth brain...I forgot what it does. The fifth would be the 'Speaker'. It would take what the human typed, check the syntax, context, meaning and how the previous Queries were worded, and look in this huge pile of data for relevant info.
Such a system could be turned to pretty much anything, not just programming.
