Virtual tech event

The EdTech industry team is getting ready for our VIRTUAL TECH
EVENT team-building day. We’ve been planning this event for a while
and now there’s just one thing missing—you!

On August 19th, 2023, we want to invite you to put away your work
for this day and join your fellow Ed Tech teammates in a few fun
activities, like: Virtual Reality, Augmented reality, and Artificial
Intelligence.

• VR context” as a set of sensory cues associated with engagement with

immersive head-mounted display-based virtual reality (HMD-VR), and
“context-dependent learning” as the memory of learned adaptations that
previously yielded reduced sensory conflict and hence more accurate
behavior in VR.
• Augmented reality is used to either visually change natural environments
in some way or to provide additional information to users. The primary
benefit of AR is that it manages to blend digital and three-dimensional
(3D) components with an individual's perception of the real world.
• Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer, or a robot
controlled by a computer to do tasks that are usually done by
humans because they require human intelligence and
discernment.
