abstract = {As technological innovations continue to shape our social interactions, the Metaverse introduces im mersive experiences that reflect real-life practices, accessible by users through their avatars. However, these interactions also bring forth potential negative aspects, including discrimination and cyberbullying. While current automatic detection systems exist, educating users on appropriate behaviour remains crucial. Leveraging recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence, the paper focuses on creating virtual AI-controlled moral agents within the Metaverse to guide users in dealing with moral dilemmas. The research aims to understand how such agents impact users' perceptions and behaviours in ethically challenging virtual environments.},

abstract = {Cutting-edge visualization and interaction technologies are increasingly used in museum exhibitions, providing novel ways to engage visitors and enhance their cultural experience. Existing applications are commonly built upon a single technology, focusing on visualization, motion or verbal interaction (e.g., high-resolution projections, gesture interfaces, chatbots). This aspect limits their potential, since museums are highly heterogeneous in terms of visitors profiles and interests, requiring multi-channel, customizable interaction modalities. To this aim, this work describes and evaluates an artificial intelligence powered, interactive holographic stand aimed at describing Leonardo Da Vinci's art. This system provides the users with accurate 3D representations of Leonardo's machines, which can be interactively manipulated through a touchless user interface. It is also able to dialog with the users in natural language about Leonardo's art, while keeping the context of conversation and interactions. Furthermore, the results of a large user study, carried out during art and tech exhibitions, are presented and discussed. The goal was to assess how users of different ages and interests perceive, understand and explore cultural objects when holograms and artificial intelligence are used as instruments of knowledge and analysis.},

abstract = {During the last years, the significant increase in the number of patients in need of rehabilitation has generated an unsustainable economic impact on healthcare systems, implying a reduction in therapeutic supervision and support for each patient. To address this problem, this paper proposes a telerehabilitation system based on serious games and in-cloud data analytics services, in accordance with Industry 4.0 design principles regarding modularity, service orientation, decentralization, virtualization, and real-time capability. The system, specialized for poststroke patients, comprises components for real-time acquisition of patient's motor data and a decision support service for their analysis. Raw data, reports, and recommendations are made available on the cloud to clinical operators to remotely assess rehabilitation outcomes and dynamically improve therapies. Furthermore, the results of a pilot study on the clinical impact deriving from the adoption of the proposed solution, and of a qualitative analysis about its acceptance, are presented and discussed.},
