Project description
The ToHyVe project aims to increase the use of hybrid events in order to contribute to climate protection. This is achieved by an event platform that allows maximum immersion and thus an optimized user experience. The application scenarios range from lectures and workshops to hybrid panels, hybrid networking meetings or interactive showroom tours. Participants of on-site events and virtual attendees meet via extended reality technology in 3D environments and can therefore collaborate through joint activities on Digital Twins with the support of social AI agents.
