Funded Activity Summary
Intelligent Virtual Human Companions. This research aims to develop intelligent virtual human companions that can seemingly integrate our immediate physical environment and understand their surroundings including people’s emotions, behaviours, actions and interactions. Such a technology will be enabled by leveraging recent advances in mixed/augmented reality technologies, and by developing innovative artificial intelligence and computer vision and graphics algorithms for dynamic real-world environments. Unlike robots, the proposed technology will be low cost, readily deployable and customisable, and will not have any physical limitations or maintenance requirements. It will thus have a wide range of applications from elderly care, healthcare care to educational training.Funded Activity Details
