HyTea ~ Presentable

Model for Hybrid Teaching (HyTea) (2022 - 2025)

HyTea (www.hytea.de) is my first project as a PI. HyTea is a collaborative project funded by the German Ministry of Education (BMBF) between DIPF and Cologne Game Lab that aims to design a multimodal tutor for training presentation skills using artificial intelligence (AI) and immersive technologies. The project also addresses the alignment problem of AI systems, which refers to the importance of designing AI systems that align with human values. The project started in September 2022 and will run until the end of 2025.

In the HyTea project, we created Presentable, an advanced research software designed to enhance users’ presentation skills through AI-driven feedback and guidance. It offers personalised feedback on voice and body language, guidance on message composition, and rehearsal tools with self-reflection prompts. Presentable provides educators with tools to monitor and support student progress, making it essential for improving presentation skills.
