A new hub at Wolverhampton University has been set up to look at how Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to improve research, business and culture.<\/p>\n
The Digital Futures Lab will officially launch on 7 February and offer academics, students, businesses and organisations a chance to collaborate across their fields, the university said.<\/p>\n
The launch event will show people cutting-edge applications of VR and AI and show how digital tools are “reshaping approaches to language, literature, and culture”.<\/p>\n
Prof Sebastian Groes, lab director, said the hub embodied the university’s commitment to innovation in research and culture. <\/p>\n
Attendees at the launch will hear from several professors talking about subjects including AI, technology, chatbots and algorithms used to analyse complex data.<\/p>\n
“As higher education evolves, the arts and humanities are embracing digital and computational methods to open new perspectives on literature, language, and society,” Groes added.<\/p>\n
“At Wolverhampton, we’re combining expertise in areas such as computational literary studies to develop creative, technology-driven solutions that address social challenges, enhance health and wellbeing, and contribute to global sustainability goals.”<\/p>\n
In May last year, the university opened its Centre for Cyber Resilience and Artificial Intelligence (CYBRAI) which it hoped would become “a leading force in the field”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new hub at Wolverhampton University has been set up to look at how Virtual Reality (VR) and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":232448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[365,363,364,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-232447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
