Exciting Innovations: AI Avatar Judy, Autonomous Robots, a Laptop with a 100-Inch AR Surface, Next-Gen XR TV, and Drone Soccer
Featured Speakers: Dirk Nowitzki, Hendrik Wüst, Meredith Whittaker, Nico Rosberg, and Siim Sikkut will headline the Digital X stage.
Media Highlights: Press discussions will cover digital identities, digital education, and network APIs.
With just three weeks remaining until Digital X, attendees in Cologne can look forward to a showcase of cutting-edge innovations. This year, the AI avatar “Judy” will serve as the main point of contact for all inquiries about the event. Powered by GPT-4, Judy offers lifelike interactions, answering questions about the fair with realistic movements and expressions.
Autonomous robotics will also take center stage. Capra Robotics, a Danish firm, leverages Deutsche Telekom’s IoT mobile and satellite networks, alongside Swift Navigation, to address key challenges like seamless mobile phone coverage and precise positioning. Digital X will highlight diverse applications, from automated city cleaning and parcel delivery to winter gritting.
Sightful introduces the Spacetop G1, an AR laptop that revolutionizes mobile working. This device projects a striking 100-inch AR surface, transforming the conventional screen experience.
Extended Reality (XR) will enhance sports viewing by expanding the physical limits of TV screens. Fans can access live statistics and alternate camera angles, blending real-world action with virtual broadcasts. Next Gen TV brings the game into the room, merging the physical and digital realms.
Drone soccer, a new trend in sports, combines fun with STEM skill development. At Digital X, six students who represented Germany at the Drone Soccer World Cup in South Korea will compete live.
