Sniffing the Metaverse

Explore the intersection of AI, IoT, and the Metaverse in this 40-minute conference talk from Strange Loop 2022. Discover how electronic noses can detect lung cancer, assist in explosive material detection, and monitor food and resources at an industrial level. Learn about training data for specific problems, making sense of large-scale real-time sensor data, and connecting the Metaverse to the physical world through sensors. Follow a practical demonstration solving the problem of finding the freshest coffee in an office building, and hear the inspiring story of a 13-year-old using sensors to detect fungal pneumonia. Gain insights into tools like Machine Learning, Digital Twins (IoT), and Spatial Anchors (Augmented Reality) that solve larger-scale problems. Presented by Benjamin Cabé, Principal Program Manager for Azure IoT at Microsoft, this talk covers topics including concrete applications of the Metaverse, technologies enabling it, modeling the environment, feeding the Metaverse, machine olfaction, AI models for smells, and spatial anchors.
