Fall Into AI

Discover how you can practice and develop your soft skills with the AI-integrated VR application, Ovation VR. This tool gives you an immersive way to practice different speaking skills such as presentations, job interviews, conversations, language learning, and more with in-depth feedback, natural conversation flow, and Q&A. Most of the session is a live participant demonstration to try yourself, so come in-person if you can!

This hybrid presentation will take place on Thursday, November 13 at 1 pm in CITL’s Innovation Studio (Armory 172) and on Zoom. No registration is required.
