DAHL activities in 2023-24

In 2023-24 we covered topics including:

• Could an AI do stand-up comedy in VR? A discussion with comedy researcher, technologist, and stand-up Jim Judges to explore the capabilities and limitations of AI in the creative industries.
• Museum design: integrating physical and digital (in which I demonstrated the use of Raspberry Pi physical computing).
• Making big events interactive using Warwick’s classroom technologies.
• Mapping Women’s Suffrage project in Omeka S (with Tara Morton of History).
• AI for analysing social media responses to museum experiences (with Jianhua Yang or WMG).
• The ethical challenges posed by AI.
• Immersive experiences in the Arts and Humanities, including Empire Soldiers VR, Child of Empire VR, and creating interactive AR exhibitions with Figmin.

We also ran a one-day international symposium on the future of immersive technologies, and hosted MBD’s revolutionary multi-player VR serious game Theatre Electric.
