Irvine, California, June 30 2024: SimInsights representative Raj Jha presented the HyperSkill platform at the CHIPS Workforce Development Program at the TechConnect World Innovation Conference & Expo in Washington DC. The presentation was part of a symposium titled “XR for Semiconductor Workforce Development and Training”. The presentation was titled “Co-designing Generative AI-powered Immersive Learning Experiences for Workforce Training” and highlighted the HyperSkill platform for semiconductor workforce development. The conference was held at Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center, 201 Waterfront Street, National Harbor, MD 20745. The workshop was sponsored by National Institute for Industry and Career Advancement (NIICA), Micron, Princeton Research, MNT-EC and supported by Princeton Materials Institute and Princeton University Office of the Dean for Research.
Presentation Description
Generative AI (Gen-AI) technologies have developed rapidly on both research and commercialization fronts in recent years, as seen from the rapid launch of increasingly powerful models from OpenAI, Google, Nvidia, and many other smaller startups. At the same time, VR/MR hardware industry continues to produce increasingly powerful devices at increasingly affordable prices. Combining these two technologies can advance the price-performance of both the stimulus-generation and response-evaluation aspects of training and assessment. Generative AI can also enable personalized and adaptive learning at scales and deliver outcomes approaching 1-1 expert-led tutoring and apprenticeship. However, a critical barrier is the high investment required to support a multidisciplinary skilled team of coders, artists and game designers for integrating these technologies to create and maintain training content. We posit that co-design and Gen-AI powered no-code tools are potentially a winning combination for reducing the time, cost and skill required for high quality XR content creation.
