Yuqian Sun is a Chinese AI narrative researcher based in London and currently a doctoral student at the Royal College of Art.

Leveraging her expertise in interactive media, she creates narrative experiences that feel alive and extend beyond video games and into our daily lives through conversational AI agents. She explores this topic through chatbots, games and interactive installations, which expand the boundary of fiction through human or non-human language interactions.

In this conversation, we look at:

• The driving principles she follows when building believable AI Agents

• Language and cultural barriers in the context of AI and Humans

• Her strong stance on AI-generated content

• A precious advice she gives to all creators out there who simply “hate AI”

Christoph is an XR veteran, he worked as an XR developer at Axel Springer, and is now one of the minds behind Laser Limbo, a successful mixed reality game on Quest that turned into a full AR arcade in Berlin. Over the past years he has worked on several projects and full games that merge physical and digital and push the boundaries of what the current generation of headsets is capable of.His recent research has been focused on the camera API leading to some of the craziest AND most polished prototypes I have seen, giving us a glimpse of the future of human computer interaction. Today we will dive into the Camera API and understand:- What is currently the biggest limitation- What are some creative uses you might not have thought about- How he implemented ball tracking in the working prototype, I personally tested- An important question you should ask yourself before even starting
