The next generation internet will enable new forms of digitized communication between humans and machines, which has the great potential to change the way we teach and learn new skills. Taking the example of piano playing, we show first insights in our ongoing research at the Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI).

Punkte Radio

Mélodie Blaison, Lucie Bortot, Anne Line Drocourt, Samia EL HADJ, Typhaine Guilloux, Cinna Peyghamy, Simon Pochet, Audrey Repon

Punkte (.--. ..- -. .-. - .) is an eight-headed chimera, researching and working within the field of sound and beyond. As part of the Arts and Sound Creation 2021-2022 postgraduate session at l’ENSA Bourges, we aim to reconsider the relationship between the fine arts and sound matters. Our name, Punkte, is a tribute to Ursula Bogner, a scientist in the pharmaceuticals sector and a composer (recordings 1969-1988) who perhaps never existed. It is also a nod to the action video Punkt (2006), in which Roman Signer, filmed sitting in profile in front of a blank canvas, waits for the explosion of the firecracker behind him to surprise him and set him in motion.

The Virtual Court. Reality.

Law Lab (AT)

The hearing is a crucial element of administrative and legal proceedings. It cannot be neglected in authorization processes, e.g. for new industrial plants or road construction, or in civil litigation and criminal trials. During the pandemic, video calls became the makeshift solution for hearings. But the question remains: could these new technologies be of further value to the state of law? With “The Virtual Court. Reality” the LIT Law Lab seeks to answer this question by introducing the court of the future in virtual space. Bring VR headsets instead of briefcases!
