A new hub at Wolverhampton University has been set up to look at how Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to improve research, business and culture.
The Digital Futures Lab will officially launch on 7 February and offer academics, students, businesses and organisations a chance to collaborate across their fields, the university said.
The launch event will show people cutting-edge applications of VR and AI and show how digital tools are "reshaping approaches to language, literature, and culture".
Prof Sebastian Groes, lab director, said the hub embodied the university's commitment to innovation in research and culture.
Attendees at the launch will hear from several professors talking about subjects including AI, technology, chatbots and algorithms used to analyse complex data.
