XR & AI Summer School 2024

eXtended Reality (XR) is an emerging umbrella term for all the immersive technologies (Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality) able to extend the user senses by blending the virtual and real worlds and creating a fully immersive experience.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad area of computer science that makes machines seem like they have human intelligence. The goal of AI is to mimic the human brain and create systems that can function intelligently and independently.

The XR&AI Summer School is focused on the synergy of these technologies for cultural and territorial heritage, medicine and industry.

The School is open to Ph.D. and Master students, post-doctoral researchers, and academic or industrial researchers.

The XR&AI Summer School is a satellite event of the International Conference on eXtended Reality (XR Salento).
