Interview with Tom @Uni-News

Wenn Tom Tuček über die Welt spricht, muss er stets konkretisieren: Handelt es sich um die reale Welt oder um virtuelle Welten? Der Doktorand am Institut für Informationstechnologie beschäftigt sich aktuell mit digital humans, also virtuellen Figuren, denen wir beispielsweise in Videospielen begegnen. Tom Tuček möchte gerne wissen, wie sich der Kontakt mit digitalen Menschen, […]
