Künstliche Intelligenz wirkt in immer mehr Lebensbereiche rein – jetzt auch in die Trauer. In der Kombination aus Texten sowie Video- und Sprachaufzeichnungen der Verstorbenen können virtuelle Avatare erstellt werden, die Hinterbliebenen die Illusion geben, mit den Verstorbenen zu sprechen.
Als Außenstehender ist es einfach, darüber den Stab zu brechen, doch aus der Perspektive der Betroffenen scheint der Wunsch nachvollziehbar:

Data-Driven Discrete Geofence Design Using Binary Quadratic Programming
Geofences have attracted significant attention in the design of spatial and virtual regions for managing and engaging spatiotemporal events. By using geofences to monitor human activity across their boundaries, content providers can create spatially triggered events that include notifications about points of interest within a geofence by pushing spatial information to the devices of users. Traditionally, geofences were hand-crafted by providers. In addition to the hand-crafted approach, recent …

Community Analysis of Social Virtual Reality Based on Large-Scale Log Data of a Commercial Metaverse Platform
This study quantitatively analyzes the structural characteristics of user communities within Social Virtual Reality (Social VR) platforms supporting head-mounted displays (HMDs), based on large-scale log data. By detecting and evaluating community structures from data on substantial interactions (defined as prolonged co-presence in the same virtual space), we found that Social VR platforms tend to host numerous, relatively small communities characterized by strong internal cohesion and limited …

Unity based virtual reality for detector and event visualization in JUNO experiment
Detector and event visualization are crucial components of high-energy physics~(HEP) experimental software. Virtual Reality~(VR) technologies and multimedia development platforms such as Unity offer enhanced display effects and flexible extensibility for visualization in HEP experiments. In this study, we present a VR-based method for detector and event displays in the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory~(JUNO) experiment. This method shares the same detector geometry descriptions and eve…

BioMetaphor: AI-Generated Biodata Representations for Virtual Co-Present Events
In virtual or hybrid co-present events, biodata is emerging as a new paradigm of social cues. While it is able to reveal individuals' inner states, the technology-mediated representation of biodata in social contexts remains underexplored. This study aims to uncover human cognitive preferences and patterns for biodata expression and leverage this knowledge to guide generative AI (GenAI) in creating biodata representations for co-present experiences, aligning with the broader concept of Human-in…

Drone Detection Using a Low-Power Neuromorphic Virtual Tripwire
Small drones are an increasing threat to both military personnel and civilian infrastructure, making early and automated detection crucial. In this work we develop a system that uses spiking neural networks and neuromorphic cameras (event cameras) to detect drones. The detection model is deployed on a neuromorphic chip making this a fully neuromorphic system. Multiple detection units can be deployed to create a virtual tripwire which detects when and where drones enter a restricted zone. We sho…

Measurement of beam-polarized Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering observables with the CLAS12 detector at Jefferson Lab
In the context of nucleon structure studies, Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) are crucial for understanding the correlation between the longitudinal momentum and the transverse position of partons inside the nucleon. A privileged channel for GPD studies is the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) process, whose experimental observables can provide access to GPDs through spin-dependent asymmetries. Although detecting all final state particles is preferred for selecting DVCS events, DV…
