On the first day of Research Demos Week, 18 academic visitors from the University of Bergen in Norway visited the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS). At the beginning of the event, Prof. Dr. Andreas Hotho gave a talk on AI and Data Science, and afterward, Prof. Dr. Marc Erich Latoschik delivered a speech on eXtended Reality and Artificial Intelligence. Following the presentations, the ‘Virtually Me’ demo and the ‘Universal Access to Social XR’ demo were showcased to the visitors.
