On September 12th, members of the UBC community gathered to celebrate the progress of EML’s five summer projects. In an evening of presentations and demos, each team shined bright in showcasing the projects that once started out as ideas on paper. Through the demonstrations, audience members were invited to experiment with the innovative projects while interacting with the project teams.
Here are the projects presented at this year’s event:
Vestibular Assessment: A mixed/augmented reality tool to teach students various assessment techniques used to treat benign paroxysmal position vertigo.
3D Metabolism: An interactive 3-dimensional tool to visualize and engage with a metabolic network, making it easier to view information that, in the past, required several different models to display.
Judicial Interrogatory Simulator: A web-based AI-backed simulated courtroom built for first-year law students with applicability we hope extends beyond the UBC community.
Tapestry Tool: An open-source online learning platform that uses machine learning to automatically generate tapestries, or webs of interconnected content, based on a given topic by a user. This integration of machine learning paves the way for more research opportunities in the future, such as exploring relevancy between nodes or prompt engineering.
Shakespeare xR: A reimagining of classic characters taken from Shakespeare’s First Folio across different technological media that allows users to explore Shakespeare’s work in a new and innovative format.
Congratulations to the EML Summer 2023 Cohort! We look forward to the impact these projects will have on the UBC community and beyond.
