Mini Report
Boxtrolls Edge of Tomorrow 2023 is an event that was held as a punishment for the low attendance of the previous Boxtrolls 2023. It is organized by CGMA for the second and third year SECV students and the event was started at 8.00 am at Tasik Ilmu UTM. After Dr. Ajune arrived, we received some advices from her and got to know the importance of CGMA to us. After the briefing session, we had to walk from Tasik Ilmu to building N28 within 20 minutes. All of us arrived at N28 in time, we took a short break at the student lounge outside the ViCubeLab to calm our body down. During the break time, Dr. Ajune again highlighted the importance of prioritization, scarification, humbleness and getting out from the comfort zone on the way to a better person. After a while, we were divided into groups and took turns to enter the ViCubeLab to try the VR and AR technologies through devices and games. We had chance to communicate with D.I.A.N.A., a real-time intelligent hologram avatar programmed and trained as a virtual assistant. It was created using AI and speech technologies which allows it to interact with people using natural speech with questions related to UTM. After trying the technologies, the year 2 students gathered outside the ViCubeLab and had a game session. We played Draw on My Back and Guess the Emoji. Once everyone finished trying the technologies in ViCubeLab and playing games, all of us formed a new group which each group had two 3SECVH seniors and three 2SECVH juniors. The seniors shared their knowledge by showing us how to perform the AR quiz by using a mobile application. Last, we walked back to Tasik Ilmu and the event ended.
Self Reflection
In this redo program, I got to understand the responsibility and importance of participating in the event organized by CGMA. Dr. Ajune sent a lot of advice on our future life to us throughout the event. This event is enlightening as we can physically try AR, VR, AI and speech technologies which we are not usually seeing in reality. I can improve my adaptability to different technologies by observing how they work and figuring out their functions. I also enhanced my communication skills by involving myself in the group activities. I am pleased to have the chance to play with technologies that I had never tried before. This punishment activity brought a lot of benefits to us and I gained many new knowledge through it.
