School of Computer Science For this project, AI was used to motion capture traditional Irish musicians and dancers over summer 2024. These were then brought to life as holograms using Godot Engine. The holograms play AI generated traditional Irish music. Modified Quest 3 headsets were used to display the holograms. The project was brought to Audio Garden Festival and Dublin Maker 2024 where many people got to experience it:

Kamran Mir School of Informatics and Cybersecurity PhD Research Project: SFI funded D-REAL project in collaboration with Allama Iqbal Open University, Pakistan.

"Enhancing Inclusivity, Scalability, and Sustainability in Distance Education through WebXR and AI Integration"

Millions of students in Pakistan face challenges in accessing quality education due to socioeconomic barriers, lack of infrastructure, and teacher shortages, especially in low-income and marginalized populations. Distance learning has expanded opportunities but often struggles with engagement and quality. The project introduces immersive 3D WebXR classrooms supported by GenAI support through AI avatar.

FrameVR is being used for this project.
