Developing and Evaluating a Metaverse AI-Assistant for Virtual Social Events

Open Human-Computer Interaction Bachelor Master Project Thesis Industry Cooperation

Motivation/Goals

Enter the Metaverse with Captic - an international EU-based leader in Metaverse Technology for hosting virtual social events, shows, conferences, games.

Captic is thrilled to explore innovative approaches such as artificial intelligence to improve virtual event customisation, creation and overall user experience and onboarding process.

This project focus on investigating and analyzing the use of Large Language Models (LLMS) as context-aware assistants for user support.

1. What can the next generation of a user manual look like?
2. Will a human-like answer assistant be perceived as helpful and timesaving?
3. Is it capable of adapting to the users’ specific needs and prior knowledge?
4. The assistant has to remember conversations and chat history, but also needs to have context-related knowledge of products as well as user-specific knowledge.

Please see an example of current AI-agent based experiences already integrated to the Captic Platorm

This is a unique opportunity for students to work with real-world XR social applications and state of the art Metaverse and AI Technology.

Overall, we expect students to perform: Research, Evaluation of the Use case, Documentation and Conception, Implementation, and Finalization/Testing/Approval of conceptualized use cases.
