Life and Death in Digital Mimicry

Dieses Projekt zielt darauf ab, KI-gestützte Integrationstechniken zwischen Mensch und Maschine zur Überwindung von Beeinträchtigungen und Behinderungen zu untersuchen. Durch die Verbindung von Unterstützungs-Hardware und akustischen, visuellen, taktilen Sensoren und Aktuatoren mit einem adaptiven und interaktiven Lernrahmen schlagen wir einen Proof of Concept unserer „xDiversity AI-Plattform“ vor, um den unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten, Bedürfnissen und Anforderungen in unserer Gesellschaft gerecht zu werden. Unser Ziel ist ein soziales Design und der Einsatz der unterstützenden Technologien in Richtung einer integrativen Gesellschaft.
