Simulation in Educational & Professional Context: Human Interactions with Mixed Reality and Artificial Intelligence
Event Actions
In collaboration with the University of Central Florida’s TeachLive, the Ruth S. Ammon College of Education and Health Sciences will present a simulation demo led by Dr. Lisa Dieker, an internationally recognized expert in simulation technology.
We invite you to an immersive, hands-on showcase that highlights how mixed reality and artificial intelligence are transforming teaching, learning, and more.
Participants will be able to interact with avatars that respond in real time, practice high-stakes moments in a safe environment, and explore how instant feedback can accelerate growth.
