Contact: Dr. Yugi Lee, leeyu@umkc.edu

Many people work from Home during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The most of the activities or meetings happened through virtual environments such as Zoom. Can you think about an innovative way to create a Cool Zoom room for your meetings?  Your tool will allow users to customize their meeting or event setting with a virtual whiteboard, markers and relevant objects to your context, along with an adjustable virtual camera. VR/AR technologies or AI/Machine Learning technologies would be applied to interesting virtual activity environments. Some of features that you may want to consider for your prototype are described below:

• Virtual education environment
  • Group virtual activity environment
    • Singing together
    • Dancing together
    • Drawing together
    • Writing together
    • Building together
  • Detecting hand gestures, blinking, head movement, body gesture
  • Detecting emotion and concentration level
  • Playing video games, e.g., multiplayer synchronisation games.
