14.04.2020 18:02

As part of the project Women in Science and Art, which is the result of cooperation between the public institution Young Dragons and the Beavers – Festival of Culture and Art Education, we were visited by youngsters, who met dr. Maša Jazbec, head of the DDTlab – RUK.

The purpose of the youngsters' visit to the DDTlab was to introduce them to an atypical female profession in the field of science and art. They got acquainted with the work of dr. Maša Jazbec in the field of robotics and humanoid science.

With a demonstration of a VR headset, BSM (Body Swapping Machine) and BCI (Brain Computer Interface) tools, dr. Maša Jazbec, together with colleagues from the DDTlab, enabled the young Beavers to experience the intertwining of the physical and virtual worlds.

The exciting journey in the DDTlab offered young visitors new experiences and new insights into sensory perceptions, which are manipulated in certain ways in the virtual environment. The youngsters were positively surprised and at the same time enthusiastic about the capabilities of modern technology.
