Technology that allows storing data and running programs over the internet instead of using your own computer or server
Immersive Technologies
Technologies that create a sense of full immersion in a digital environment by "tricking" our senses (sight, hearing, sometimes even touch)
VR Virtual Reality
You put on a headset and enter a fully artificial world (e.g., Beat Saber)
AR Augmented Reality
Digital objects are superimposed on the real world (like Snapchat filters or Pokémon GO)
MR Mixed Reality
A hybrid of VR and AR where virtual objects interact with the real world (e.g., Microsoft HoloLens)
Haptics
Technology that simulates the sense of touch or physical interaction with virtual objects using vibrations, resistance, or other tactile feedback
Collective Immersive Spaces
Environments where multiple users can simultaneously interact with each other and digital objects in a fully immersive mode
Digital twins
Virtual replicas of physical objects, processes, or systems that simulate their real behavior using data and algorithms (Siemens - virtual factory models, Tesla - automotive design and software testing)
Generative AI Integration
Artificial intelligence that creates new content (text, images, music, code) based on trained data (interpretation of gestures and voice)
