The Challenges are Online! Have fun !!!

AI in Immersive Environments 

Challenge 1 - Adaptive Training, Cross-Device

Design a cross-device XR training experience that uses AI to personalise human learning and includes multisensory feedback in real time, while predicting and optimising latency to keep immersion consistent.

Pick any learning context (e.g., hard skills, soft skills) and propose a user-centric pipeline: input signals (performance, errors, pace, optional biometrics), an adaptation policy, and, if possible, a lightweight prediction/optimisation loop that manages latency across VR/desktop/AR.
