Exploring AI-powered interactive experiences to help students to engage with the ancient past

AI in Antiquity — building on the Virtual Reality Oracle (VRO) project — was a collaboration with Prof. Esther Eidinow (Classics and Ancient History, Bristol) and Charisma AI. We created classroom-ready recreations of ancient sites where students can talk to and learn from virtual characters who inhabit them.
