Creative Immersive AI:Emerging Challenges and Opportunities forCreative Applications of AI in Immersive Media

ABSTRACT Over the past several years artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have gained a considerable presence in immersive media. From assistance with real-time digital production to emerging novel forms of creative expression, applications of AI are becoming ubiquitous in the fields of human-computer interaction (HCI), computer graphics, and media art. As we are interested in how novel computational techniques are shaping the state of creativity in immersive and interactive technologies, we organize this special interest group (SIG) to stimulate a discussion among AI, HCI, immersive media, and art communities. The goal of this SIG includes outlining existing and emerging areas of cross-disciplinary collaborations, proposing a roadmap of future goals and challenges for creative immersive AI research, and establishing a diverse group of researchers and practitioners involved in creative applications of AI in immersive and interactive media.
