COMP proudly participated as a Pioneering Innovation Partner at the Digital Entertainment Leadership Forum (DELF) 2025, organised by Cyberport from 12 to 14 September 2025. The event attracted over 3,800 participants from business, academia, and the wider community, providing a vibrant platform for exchanging ideas and showcasing cutting-edge technologies.
During the morning session on 12 Sep, the COMP booth was honoured by the visit of Mr Paul CHAN, GBM, GBS, MH, JP, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR. During his visit, COMP presented three outstanding student-led projects, demonstrating the department’s commitment to harnessing AI, virtual reality, and the metaverse for impactful real-world applications:
- A Creative System of Chinese Shadow Puppetry in the Metaverse of Intangible Cultural Heritage
The Creative System of Chinese Shadow Puppetry in the Metaverse offers a unique VR experience where users control virtual puppets mirrored by robotic arms. Utilising advanced gesture recognition, it preserves traditional Chinese culture while providing real-time synchronised feedback, enhancing immersion and engagement for users of all ages in an interactive virtual environment. - Clinical Conversation Training System
The Clinical Conversation Training System is an immersive platform designed to enhance medical communication skills through realistic patient dialogue scenarios. Using Scenario-based QA and Instruction Prompting, it helps users build effective responses in high-pressure settings. A Cantonese language calibration ensures cultural and linguistic accuracy. Leveraging the Metaverse, it offers authentic, accessible training without hardware constraints and supports many concurrent users with a stable, extensible backend. - Developing a Human-Centered Framework for Engaging Experiences in Meta-Football
This work develops a human-centred AI system that analyses amateur football videos to match players’ styles with professional stars using multi-model deep learning. It generates personalised digital star cards via generative AI, offering an engaging, interactive experience. The web-based platform emphasises accuracy, usability, and scalability, supporting sports training, entertainment, and social interaction with future AR/VR integration plans.
In the afternoon of 12 Sep, Prof. Peter NG, Assistant Professor and Dr Jeff TANG, Lecturer, delivered an insightful talk session titled “Metaverse Technology Applications in Culture and Tourism.” The talk explored the evolution of culture and tourism technologies within the metaverse, highlighting the transformative roles of AI and virtual reality. The discussion addressed current practices, emerging possibilities, and the ways these technologies are reshaping experiences for users, creators, and organisations. The session also featured the showcased student projects, illustrating how COMP’s innovations are inspiring new career pathways and accelerating industry growth for future professionals.
