Presentation Abstract
“AI-Powered XR Interactions: The Future of Display Engagement”
Today’s displays are passive—they wait for input from keyboards, mice, or touch. But what if displays could understand us through natural human behavior? In this talk, we explore how AI, computer vision, and deep neural networks (DNNs) enable zero-touch interactions, transforming any display into an intuitive, gesture-aware interface.
The talk will include:
1. Real-time gesture & intent detection using cameras and DNNs—no wearables required.
2. Combining gesture control with object recognition for contextual interactions.
3. Interactive demo of Neural Lab’s AI-driven gesture interaction with 3D displays, showcasing seamless, immersive control.
4. The next frontier: Displays that observe, predict, and act—eliminating traditional input devices.
The future isn’t just about detecting motions; it’s about AI understanding human intent and elevating performance seamlessly. Join us to see the technology in action and envision a world where displays anticipate needs, turning every interaction into a natural dialogue.
