We voeren het gesprek over de kansen en risico’s die AI met zich meebrengt. We kijken naar de rol die het speelt bij onderwijsinnovatie én hebben oog voor maatschappelijke en sociale aspecten. Wil je meer weten, meepraten of kennisdelen? Kijk dan verder en volg de SIG AI in Education.
Some time ago SURF got their hands on the Augmented Reality device previously shrouded in mystery, the Magic Leap 2. Early in the current XR wave (2014) when the term XR wasn't even a thing yet, Magic Leap got spotlight with the release of a few patents for their new mystery AR device called the Magic Leap; which would add realistic 3D elements to the real world (see marketing video). Magic Leap got the attention of big investors, including even Google and Alibaba, which resulted in US$2.6 billion being invested in their company. Due to these investments and marketing videos showing very convincing visuals the Magic Leap 1 hype went very high, while the device itself was eventually quite a let down when it was finally released in 2018.
To our surprise Magic Leap announced the second iteration of their Magic Leap headset in 2021. The Magic Leap 2, unlike the first iteration, is more geared towards the enterprise market. Shortly after they announced that it would be commercially available from September 2022 onwards, SURF took the opportunity to take the leap and buy one of the devices. SURF then tested out its capabilities and wanted to share the outcome here. This has taken somewhat longer than planned, as will become clearer below.
Hoe optimaal kennisclips inzetten in je onderwijs? Dat was het onderwerp van de workshop georganiseerd door de SIG Media and Education op donderdag 21 september op locatie bij SURF in Utrecht.
Do you deal with Big Data in your research in Astronomy or Earth Observation? Or do you want to learn about innovative projects in these domains with a strong data processing component? Then save the date for this seminar, organized by SURF & NSO, bringing together the Astronomy and Earth Observation communities to discuss shared challenges and best practices.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) kan de kwaliteit van het onderwijs verbeteren. Hoe precies? Dat moeten we grotendeels nog ontdekken. Veel instellingen experimenteren daarom met AI-toepassingen. Maar wat is Artificial Intelligence nou precies? Waar liggen de kansen voor het onderwijs? Wat zijn voorbeelden van toepassingen? En wat betekent het voor de docent? Juni is de Maand van AI in het onderwijs. En mooi moment voor een overzicht.
