The second phase of the UPTAKERS Training of Trainers officially kicked off at Sapienza University of Rome, launching an intensive learning journey at the intersection of software development, XR, and AI.
The day opened with an introduction to the software development process by Prof. Massimo Mecella, setting the methodological foundation for XR applications. This was followed by an advanced session by Filippo Bianchini exploring LLMs over XR, covering transformer architectures, retrieval-augmented generation, knowledge graphs, and hybrid retrieval approaches, with an overview of how large language models can be integrated into immersive environments. The program continued with Matteo Marinacci, who introduced advanced XR technologies, focusing on networking fundamentals, XR programming environments, and multi-player concepts for collaborative virtual experiences.
A strong start to Phase 2, paving the way for intelligent, connected, and immersive XR applications within the UPTAKERS framework.
