During the session (11:30 a.m. &#8211; 01:00 p.m.), Dr. Srivastava walked the audience through the latest work coming out of the Ci Lab. It wasn&#8217;t just theory; the discussion centered on the tangible possibilities of Virtual Reality in sectors like Game Development and Education\u2014areas where immersive tech is rapidly shifting from &#8220;novelty&#8221; to &#8220;necessity.&#8221; A standout moment was the live demonstration led by Mohd Zubair, which gave attendees a firsthand look at how these concepts translate into real-world user experiences. seeing the audience interact with the Ci Lab projects sparked some fantastic discussions on where the industry is heading next. A Look at the Day\u2019s Agenda Friday was packed with insights from start to finish. Here is how the day unfolded: Mentors &amp; Speakers It was an honor to share the platform with such a diverse group of experts throughout the week. The event featured keynotes and workshops from industry leaders like Dr. Srinivasan Venkataraman (IIT Delhi), who covered Design Creativity, and Dr. Priyanka Jain (C-DAC, MeitY), who gave a fascinating talk on Neuro-Cognitive AI titled &#8220;Vivan: A Vibrant Brain.&#8221; Other mentors who contributed their expertise included Mr. Manoj Sinha (Leading Cartoonist), Dr. Gowdham Prabhakar (IIT Kanpur), and Mr. Arunesh Singh (Superlinked), making this a truly cross-disciplinary gathering.
