*MOTIVATION AND DESCRIPTION*

eXtended Reality (XR) is an emerging umbrella term for all the immersive technologies (Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality) able to extend the user senses by blending the virtual and real worlds and creating a fully immersive experience.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad area of computer science that makes machines seem like they have human intelligence. The goal of Ai is to mimic the human brain and create systems that can function intelligently and independently.

The XR&AI Summer School is focused on the synergy of these technologies for the enhancement of the cultural and territorial heritage. The School is open to PhD and Master students, post-doctoral researchers, and academic or industrial researchers.

To accommodate a large number of situations, the Summer School 2022 will be a hybrid event, giving participants the opportunity to attend in presence or remotely.
