RIYADH: The advent of artificial intelligence has the potential to enrich the experience of museumgoers, according to two experts who spoke to Arab News.
Josh Horowitz, an adjunct professor at Carnegie Mellon University and software developer, has developed a project that allows people to explore heritage sites digitally.
Real-time data is fed into AI systems to produce “projection-mapped actuated surfaces” for better interaction and documentation of heritage sites.
Horowitz told Arab News: “AI is spreading like wildfire in our daily lives. We need to create an interactive environment where physical space and digital space can yield opportunities and go from narrating community stories to creating these stories.”
Exhibiting at the Digital Heritage Conference in Riyadh on Tuesday was WonderWay, a company that developed Ayapi, which it calls a “pocket museum companion.”
