Plenary Hall
Needs Analysis

Creating sensible educational experiences for the Metaverse is hard, and content creators often struggle with finding the right starting point, deploying helpful methodology, or utilizing the general tool set available to quickly implement educational XR experiences.

 

Learning Objectives

The participants of the workshop will:

  • Try out latest smart glasses delivery devices (Apple Vision Pro, Microsoft Hololens)
  • Understand key enabling technology (text-to-3D, parametric geometry, volumetric video, motion capture, AI-assisted 3D scanning, holographic AI)
  • Critically assess pros and cons of these technologies and the applications they enable
  • Select the right mix of technologies for intended use cases
  • Create XR learning content with tangible tools

 

Pre-activities

The participants should install the following applications on their mobile devices: MirageXR, PolyCAM, and Luma AI:

 

Session Description

The workshop will proceed with this agenda:

  1. A brief introduction generative AI for the creation of educational Metaverse experiences.
  2. A cued tutorial of the tools, showing how to use PolyCAM, Luma.AI, Sloyd, Mixamo, Move.AI, 3dfy).
  3. Then participants will spend time on creating artefacts, also outlining (in discussion at least, but maybe also with quick demo using MirageXR as assembly tool) the possibilities for educational use.
