- Example: An AI shopkeeper in a fantasy game that remembers your previous visits and changes dialogue accordingly.
- Tools: OpenAI API + Unity or Unreal Engine VR.
🧠 2. Interactive Learning & Training
- Use Case: Real-time AI tutor or coach in immersive training environments (e.g., flight simulation, surgery, language learning).
- Example: Practicing Spanish in VR with a native-sounding ChatGPT character that provides real-time corrections and context.
- Benefit: Personalization + instant feedback in contextual environments.
🏛️ 3. Guided Tours & Museum Experiences
- Use Case: AI tour guide that can answer any question about exhibits, history, or art in real-time.
