Future in focus: Open Labs in Weimar invite you to creative exchange
In a few days the University of Weimar will be holding its annual series of eventsOpen Labs, carry out. On Friday, theJuly 11, 2025, invite students and teachers to exchange ideas about innovative topics. The focus of this year's discussions is the question:What do we believe when we talk about the future?
The event promises a relaxed atmosphere with the smell of grilled food and a selection of cold drinks outdoors. Participants can look forward to stimulating conversations that explore the complex aspects ofArtificial intelligence,virtual realities, algorithms and the corresponding visual worlds and media cultures.
Diverse projects
Overall, various projects are planned that focus on current media usage and its cultural implications. This includes:
- Interaktive Argumentationsplattform mit KI
- Performatives Live-Coding-Lab
- Geschichten, die von Maschinen erzählt und gezeichnet werden
- Forschung zu sozialer Nähe in virtuellen Räumen
- Potenzial von VR für gemeinsames Erleben
- Experimentelle Visualisierungen von Bewegungsdaten
- Neuartige 3D-Grafiktechnologien
The associated increase in media consumption could promote new insights into our understanding and interaction with digital technologies. How uni-weimar.de reports, the exchange of ideas and perspectives will also help advance research in these areas.
Artificial intelligence in virtual reality
The linking ofArtificial intelligenceandVirtual reality(VR) opens up new possibilities in media design. According to information from talsand.eu This combination is particularly promising as it creates immersive experiences that go beyond traditional media formats. In this context, artificial intelligence can help increase the interactivity and personalization of content.
The research projects within the Open Labs offer the ideal platform to research and test such technologies. By developing new narrative forms and examining the social dimensions of digital experience, they could make a decisive contribution to expanding our understanding of contemporary media culture.
In summary, the event not only shows the current developments in media and technology, but also promotes interdisciplinary dialogue between different disciplines. The exchange on this day could provide crucial impulses for future research and projects.
