As AI decouples intelligence from consciousness, as XR technologies transform perception, and as matter becomes machine manipulable, three key questions about the future arise: 1) what will newer AI-infused interfaces look like where digital bits occupy space and algorithms have faces, 2) what can we learn about human behavior through human-AI interaction and how can AI models learn from human behavior, and 3) how will a shift from data-centered to human-centered AI systems augment our capabilities and enrich our lives? To answer these questions, our current work focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), eXtended Reality (XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In particular, we investigate the design, engineering and study of interfaces (software and hardware), interactions, tools and systems for physical tasks such as motor skill acquisition, task guidance and creative collaboration. We call this Artificial Physical Intelligence.We are inspired by the writings of Douglas Englebart and JCR Licklider. In both Augmenting Human Intellect and Man-Computer Symbiosis we see a vision of a world where human capabilities are greatly enhanced through close interaction with machines, which we call Human-AI Integration.https://sites.cs.ucsb.edu/~sra/http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~sra/

Thomas Kuriakose is the founder of Atman Software an indie computer graphics studio based in Bangalore.
Past work has focused on real-time 3d graphics - ranging from game engines to games to architecture visualizations. The name Atman Software was inspired by two ideas - one, facing inwards, the concept of 'the Self' and two, facing both inwards and outwards, the principle, that "over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign”.
In Sanskrit, 'the Self' translates to Atman. BLR80 is the new offering from Atman Software, Set in the future, you play a fugitive trying to thwart OJI's plans of world domination. Outnumbered and outgunned, you will battle law enforcement bots on crowded Indian streets, teleport into the science station, infiltrate the compute center, upload a virus into OJI's central computing cortex and shut down the OJI intelligence-industrial complex.
Only then will the fate of humanity be known.

Entrepreneurship isn't very natural. It defies many of our most human instincts. Our desire for security. Our fear of crazy risks. Our tendency to go with the flow and not make too many waves. And yet, there is always that kind of person you know who goes the other way. Who embraces a different set of instincts. The kind that have driven humans for millennia to leave home, to push boundaries, and to build. For most of our history, we have called that kind of person an explorer. But in the twenty-first century, with the frontiers that are still open for exploration no longer physical, but technological, social, intellectual, and economic, we have given that person a new name: entrepreneur.

Aditya is on a mission to blend the confluence of Playable commerce & Immersive Social Media by bringing your favorite apparel onto your digital self. He believes styling yourself with brands you love enhances the online shopping experience while creating digital versions of yourself for the metaverse.
Presenting YOLOgram - YOUR Hologram: a fun styling game. Style yourself with your favorite brands & create playful content for social media. YOLOgram aims to augment playable 3d commerce on yourself and create playful social content. Aditya believes fun styling with D2A (Direct-to-Avatar) will replace scrolling to shop & his vision of digital fashion rests on the convergence of 3D fashion and digital humans immersed across spatial realities. D2A enables 3D digital pioneers and virtual influencers in fashion to achieve sustainable goals across the both the production value chain as well as consumer engagement paradigms. His meta-Avatar vision encompasses the blending the worlds of purpose (commerce, communication) and play (styling and fun). As the metaverse evolves, our embodiment and involvement will be driven by DIGITAL humans to express identity and creativity. These digital humans will not be limited by physical constraints nor social constructs that bind us down today. Today a 2D photograph ties the human-readable and machine-readable and real worlds. But, it is not impossible to think that we may soon be able to fill a government application with a non-human digital persona as an identification as long as it is non fungible and its token is cryptographically signed and on a distributed ledger.
He is a believer that the Metaverse is ALREADY HERE and is taking shape with various worlds blending together. These blends will exist as immersive multiplayer experiences that will connect seamlessly across Embodiment (form) and Identity (function) in various sensory experiences (immersive multiplayer 2d, 3d and audio) Aditya's a serial entrepreneur backed by successful exits over two decades, proficient in consulting, design thinking & strategy. At Acuis, he led a mobility & cloud (SaaS) defining many firsts for Asian Healthcare, paving the vision for interoperable best of breed medical apps with standardised interfaces. He led sales of acuVena attaining 100% YoY growth. Aditya received his BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of California, Irvine. He has completed several professional development programs from institutions like Harvard University, IIM Ahmedabad, & the ISB Hyderabad.

Music-making has gone through several technological revolutions: from mono to stereo over surround to 3D sound. All these revolutions started from technological progress. The artists and composers embraced the technology later on, allowing them to innovate their art form. Beethoven changed his composing style when he got a new English piano, film music changed radically when the soundtrack was introduced (instead of the live piano music accompaniment). Today a similar revolution is taking place: the technology for immersive music in 3D applications and VR is available. Artists and composers are yet to follow. A gigantic creative space is waiting to be explored by innovative and experimental bands, films and games.
Steven Maes has been experimenting with sound tools for the past twenty-five years, using everything from lamp microphones to 360 video and Ambisonic immersive sound technology. Passionate about classical music, he has directed television programs, made hundreds of recordings and mastered CDs for popular music artists from Adamo to Lost Frequencies. His recordings have been praised in BBC Music Magazine Diapason and Gramophone. His DVD 392 (on Pieter Wispelwey’s recording of the Bach Cello Suites) was met with great acclaim. Classica selected his recording of Debussy’s La Mer (Brussels Philharmonic) as the best classical reference of all time. Recently he made recordings with London Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestra, in 2016 & 17 Steven made two recordings that won the prestigious Echo Classic in Germany. Steven is on faculty at PXL University College in Hasselt, Belgium, where he supervises thesis projects and teaches studio techniques and is the founder of Motor Music Recording Studios.
