Wisdomia: Chat with Da Vinci & Ada Lovelace in 3D
Imagine learning calculus from Ada Lovelace or art theory from Leonardo da Vinci—digitally resurrected in 3D AI avatars. That’s the vision behind Wisdomia, the first Web3.0 edutainment marketplace blending gamified learning with immersive history. Founder Dinis Guarda joins us to explain how users interact with AI versions of geniuses, explore 3D-rendered wonders like the Temple of Artemis, and earn rewards while learning. “This isn’t Wikipedia in 3D,” he says—"it’s a tipping point for education."
H&M’s Digital Model Twins: Innovation or Job Threat?
Fashion meets the metaverse as H&M scans real models to create AI “digital twins” for campaigns. While the brand calls it a "creative enhancement”, critics warn of lost jobs for photographers, makeup artists, and models themselves. “Is this sustainability or just cost-cutting?”, we ask digital twin expert Ghislaine Boddington.
Premier League’s VAR goes Semi-Automated- Fans Fume
Football’s robot referees are causing chaos! The new semi-automated offside system uses 10,000 data points per player to make calls—but when it falters humans have to step in.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Ghislaine Boddington.
