Immersive VR and Interactive Machine learning: a London-Shanghai Collaboration in art, education, & AI

金匠学院将在虚拟现实、沉浸式媒体、人工智能、艺术、教育和电脑游戏领域的专家领导三项活动，并得到其他英国创意产业和中国组织的支持。首先，一个由英国和中国导演组成的团队将制作一部360度中文视频，由英国学者领导，并由一所中国当地学校提供协助。制作一个360度的概念验证视频，与在伦敦的中国学生一起推广VR在语言学习中的应用，并探索VR在教育中的新方法。第二，今年6月将在金匠学院举办为期一天的伦敦-上海艺术与科技合作发展活动。在主题演讲和演示（例如沉浸式VR演示，360视频）的支持下，我们将确定并邀请30个主要合作伙伴参加此次活动，通过小组讨论和研讨会，围绕伦敦-上海合作伙伴关系和网络发展展开密切对话。第二天将组织一对一会议，探讨具体的未来合作。第三，为期一周的上海之旅将与中国合作伙伴共同组织，届时英国学者将访问我们目前的中国合作伙伴以及在整个项目中发展起来的任何其他上海合作伙伴。PI和联合i将准备一份报告，总结金史密斯活动中确定的主题和挑战，并将准备与他们自己的研究领域（沉浸式艺术、虚拟现实、交互式机器学习和人工智能）密切相关的单独会谈，他们认为未来的合作潜力。

Three activities proposed will be led by Goldsmiths experts in the area of virtual reality, immersive media, AI, art, education, and computer games, with the supports from other UK creative industry and Chinese organisations.First, a 360 Video in Chinese will be produced by a team of UK-based and Chinese directors, led by UK academics and facilitated by a local Chinese school. The production of a proof-of-concept 360-degree video promotes the use of VR in language learning with Chinese students in London, and explores new ways in using VR in education.Second, a one day London-Shanghai Art and Tech Partnership Development Event will be hosted at Goldsmiths this June. Supported by keynotes and demos (e.g., immersive VR demos, 360 videos), we will identify and invite 30 key partners to attend this event to develop a close conversation around London-Shanghai partnership and network development through a panel discussion and a workshop. One-to-one meetings will be organised for the following day to explore concrete future collaborations.Third, a one week Shanghai trip will be co-organised with the Chinese partners, when UK academics will visit current our Chinese partners and any other shanghai- based partners developed throughout this project. PI and co-Is will prepare a presentation summarising themes and challenges identified in the Goldsmiths event and will also prepare separate talks closely related to their own research area (immersive art, VR, interactive ML and AI) where they see potentials for future collaboration.
