From cybersecurity to BioRobotics, from sharing memories in contemporary society to the possibility of ‘trying on’ clothes purchased online thanks to edge computing techniques: focus on the proposals of the Academic Class of Social Sciences and Experimental Sciences
To investigate perspectives on an increasingly tech-savvy everyday life, the Internet Festival 2024, the longest-running event dedicated to the relationship between contemporary society and the digital world, returns to Pisa from Thursday 10 to Sunday 13 October. #Generation is the keyword of this 14th edition, spread across ten venues in the centre of Pisa.
The Sant'Anna School is one of the institutions supporting the Festival, hosting some of its events at its venue in Piazza Martiri della Libertà and, above all, presenting interactive demonstrations, the result of the research activities of the two Academic Classes, the Social Sciences and the Experimental Sciences. The schedule with which the Sant'Anna School is taking part in the Internet Festival was coordinated by the two delegates of the rector Sabina Nuti, full professor of Comparative Public Law Giuseppe Martinico and associate professor of Telecommunications Nicola Sambo. At the presentation press conference on Monday 23 September in the Region of Tuscany, the Sant'Anna School was represented by telecommunications assistant professor Andrea Sgambelluri.
From Cybersecurity to the challenges, also in a regulatory sense,ofArtificial Intelligence, to the experiences of sharing memories in the digital era, passing through the conclusion of the European project LeADS, to ponder on the data that create new market opportunities and pose new challenges also for security. The Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, at the Le Benedettine Congress Centre, offers numerous proposals for T-TOURS, the interactive workshops, to approach frontier research with a popular and educational approach. From BioRobotics for the prevention of neurological disorders in children to robotics for subsequent rehabilitation, thanks to wearable interfaces in virtual manipulation and teleoperation scenarios from the virtual rowing system with the HAIREMI project to the interactive experience of trying on clothes in a virtual fitting room, thanks to edge computing techniques, developed in collaboration with CNIT, minimise waiting times and offer a sensation similar to that of a virtual mirror in real time.
The Internet Festival is promoted by the Region of Tuscany, the Municipality of Pisa, Registro .it and the Institute of Informatics and Telematics of the CNIT, the University of Pisa, Sant'Anna School, Scuola Normale Superiore together with the Chamber of Commerce of North-West Tuscany, the Province of Pisa and the Science Festival Association. The planning and organisation are by Fondazione Sistema Toscana.
