In its initial phase, the Innovation Majlis features AI-enabled wearable glasses for augmented reality experiences that transform the way we perceive and interact with other people, products or services, as well as haptic gloves, which enables touch interaction in virtual reality to feel the weight, vibrations and resistance of virtual objects, and 3D holographic displays with generative AI, which elevates the experience of interacting with digital signage by providing advanced conversational capability through natural language processing.
The Innovation Majlis comes hot on the heels of launching Sara, the world’s first checkāin robot assistant.
