MTPC-G23274 MTPC provided support to create new learning possibilities. In Fall 2023, the Metaverse Design Thinking course (EMIA6500C) brought together students from Hong Kong and Guangzhou campuses in a shared metaverse space for the rst time. Using 15 sets of VR goggles in MTPC’s Digital Learning Studio, the instructor and students from both campuses appeared in class inside a virtual classroom as avatars, creating a learning environment that is literally without boundaries. Similarly, the Social Media for Creatives course (EMIA6500F) will also employ VR goggles for cross-campus instruction. Meanwhile, students of the Engineering Team Design Experience course (ENGG1200) developed skills in 3D modeling and motion capture by utilizing our Digital Learning Studio’s advanced motion capturing equipment. After recording body motions, students can integrate them into their creations. Metaverse Theater Lighting Training for EMIA2500A Students An innovative teaching app on metaverse theater lighting training is developed based on a project “Art Mirror” by a group of PhD students. MTPC invites their programmer to take part in the app development, which aims to explore the potential of metaverse for technical theater arts education. The app emulates the physical lighting setup and environment of the Shaw Auditorium. It lets students taking the course create their own lighting design using a metaverse space via VR goggles. Instead of having students take turns on the physical lighting panel, multiple students can now practice what they are learning in class simultaneously through this immersive technology. Interactive A.I. Installation at Annual Donor Event The MTPC team set up an innovative A.I. art installation at the university’s annual donor reception event, held in Asia Society on 2 February. During the event, the host engaged guests to provide keywords in responses to questions. The keywords are fed into an A.I. generative arts platform. Using speci cally designed algorithms, the platform used the keywords to create a unique, custom-made music video that is dynamically displayed with projection mapping on a red bird paper sculpture, becoming a multi-dimensional art piece. This installation greatly enhanced the atmosphere of the event. Hardware upgrades have been made at Shaw Auditorium to improve user experience: A giant motorized projection screen – 216” x 384” in size – has been installed, reducing the manpower needed to set up seminars and meetings. A new tvONE Corio Master 2 video processor has been installed to minimize delay time for the LED wall’s live video signal and optimize LED wall layout control for live video production. A new cable management system with automated cable coiling/uncoiling mechanism for the LED wall has been installed to improve ef ciency and safety. A new concert recording mic hanging system has been installed to improve sound depth and clarity during music concerts. Enhancements at Shaw Auditorium Support for Innovative Classes
