Topic: Beyond Entertainment: Extended Reality and Our New Digital Life (超越娛樂：延展實境與我們的新數碼生活)

Abstract:

Extended Reality (XR) is steadily moving beyond laboratories and gaming environments into our everyday digital lives. This lecture introduces the broader XR technology spectrum, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) and wearable electronics (WE), and explores their technological characteristics as well as evolving modes of user interaction.

Building on this foundation, the session will explore emerging trends in XR development and consider how these technologies are reshaping digital entertainment, cultural consumption, and everyday living. It will also highlight the role of technological innovation in advancing digital transformation within the humanities, opening new possibilities for creativity, interpretation, and engagement across communities, culture, and education.

延展實境（Extended Reality, XR）正跨越實驗室與娛樂場景，融入我們的日常數碼生活。本講座將帶領參加者理解 XR 技術的整體範疇，包括虛擬實境（VR）、擴增實境（AR）、混合實境（MR）及穿戴式裝置（WE），探索它們的技術特性及不斷演變的使用者互動模式。在此基礎上，講座將探討XR的最新發展趨勢，思考這些技術如何重新塑造數碼娛樂、文化消費與日常生活形態。同時，我們亦將關注科技創新如何推動人文領域的數碼轉型，開拓社群、文化與教育中的嶄新創作與詮釋可能。

Topic: eSports and Digital Inclusion for the “Silver Generation” (數碼共融：銀齡電競賽)

Abstract:

This session, organised by HKSYU’s Department of Applied Data Science, takes the form of a mini esports competition for the “silver generation.” Through interactive challenges held in the department’s Game Development Laboratory, participants are invited to experience the possibilities of the digital world and expand the horizons of their everyday lives. 

This session seeks to bridge the gap between age and technology, fostering understanding and connection across generations. Through digital engagement, it supports elderly adults in gradually becoming familiar with technology, easing anxieties, building confidence in its use, and helping them integrate more comfortably into digital life post-retirement.

香港樹仁大學應用數據科學學系為「銀齡世代」舉辦迷你電競比賽，廣邀「老友記」進入仁大的「遊戲開發實驗室」接受互動挑戰，體驗數碼世界的樂趣以拓展眼界，豐富生活每一天。本活動旨在拉近年齡與科技之間的距離，促進跨世代的理解和連繫。同時協助長者透過應用數碼科技，逐步熟習新技術，減輕無形的不安全感，以致在使用時增加信心，為退休生活添上「數碼色彩」。
