MAIA & CyberLÄND: How 3D Avatars Connect Community, Content & Business

Dr Frank Dürr

MAIA is the 3D avatar of CyberLÄND, Baden-Württemberg's metaverse competence platform, and stands for bridging the gap between AI, the creative industries and the digital economy. As an interactive, AI-supported figure, she acts as a knowledge broker, storyteller and community host - on the web and in immersive spaces. The presentation will show in a practical way how MAIA combines generative AI with specific use cases: from automated content curation to the moderation of virtual events, including on the CyberLÄND website, in the community platform and as the leading figure of an Apple Vision Pro experience for MFG. Examples will be used to show how avatars enable reach, collaboration and new business models - and the experience can be tested live in the foyer.

This impulse is part of "Future Lab Germany: How Cities, AI & Creativity Open Up New Spaces"

At our participatory Stage K4, we combine impulses with networking. Come along at the start of the session and take a look at all four projects. After a short project presentation, you will have the opportunity to network intensively with the people behind the projects and find out more about their work.

For the first 30 minutes, we will present all projects on stage, then there will be 90 minutes for deep dives.
