Chiu emphasized that the company has been extensively involved in the metaverse for numerous years, with the scope of the VRSTATE covering areas such as AI model training, digital content creation, and economic digital space. A crucial aspect lies in cultivating a "sense of value", where physical product technologies need to be digitized. Inventec leverages core technologies such as generative AI, digital twins, multi-modal human-computer interaction, to establish metaverses dedicated to exhibition, applications, education, fashion, culture and creativity within the digital economic ecosystem.
Tsai stated that Asia University is dedicated to promoting technology-related research and fostering industrial collaboration. Eight years ago, the university positioned itself as the "Year of AI" and established the first metaverse hub in central Taiwan. This initiative incorporated augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) into teaching practices, while each department also developed its own well-equipped metaverse facility. This year, Asia University has advanced to focus on the "Generative AI Year.". The university has seamlessly integrated generative AI across teaching, research, and administrative services. With the assistance of Inventec the university actively facilitates talent cultivation in teaching methodologies, hardware advancements, and service enhancements.
In the future, the two sides will jointly develop a metaverse cloud learning experimental architecture that seamlessly integrates teaching, hardware, and services. They will create an immersive virtual and real integrated metaverse campus tour, establish virtual instructors for each college's courses, and offer multi-language functionality for the courses. Wang Zhaoneng, ASUS's Dean of Industry, disclosed that the university will also collaborate with Inventec to plan metaverse certification programs and introduce meta-cosmology courses to cultivate talents in metaverse science and technology while promoting metaverse education.
