CyberNinjas: Empowering our children to be cyber smart in the metaverse
CyberNinjas: Empowering our children to be cyber smart in the metaverse
This project will co-design, develop and pilot an innovative online safety program aimed at increasing children’s awareness of, and preparedness for, the metaverse. The program will combine interactive storytelling, 3D immersive technologies, and artificial intelligence to deliver impactful online safety training for children and their communities, with the aim of developing safer online behaviours and habits in the metaverse.
Companies and government bodies in the areas of security, emergency services and health, are turning to intelligent systems to maintain high levels of performance in the workforce. However, to design and engineer intelligent systems related to the human mind and body, human performance and cognition research is essential.
At IISRI, we are global innovators of human performance and cognition monitoring and use a combination of techniques – such as eye tracking, human motion analysis, motion capture, and respiration rate – to monitor and capture data to design and engineer intelligent systems that have the potential to change the world.
In other work, we analyse the characterisation of the general state of mind, using methods such as Electroencephalography (EEG), which measures brain activity during the cognitive processing of a sensory, motor or cognitive task.
Our work in these areas has led to the development of the world’s first all-in-one human performance and cognition monitoring platform – HUman Monitoring System (HUMS).
