KOBI is supported by the European initiative EU4ART_dierences,
proposal number: 101016460. Funded by the Horizon 2020 SWAF
program, EU4ART is a research project involving art academies in
Riga, Rome, Budapest, and Dresden. A special thanks to Research
Catalogue for their collaboration. For more information on Research
Catalogue, scan the QR code with your phone.
• Multi-user Functionality: Promote collaborative learning and creative
processes shared by multiple people simultaneously.
• Articial Intelligence and Creativity: Enhance the conversational agent
to support learning and creativity.
• Content Expansion: Broaden the range of media content currently
available.

KOBI 3.0 enables voice interactions with Chat GPT, creating a natural
and dynamic brainstorming environment.
• Generate Ideas: Dialogue with the articial intelligence in KOBI
simplies the ideation phase. Artists, students, and designers can
explore with greater ease specialistic resources such as Research Catalogue.
ey can also use their voice for thematic conversations with Chat GPT.
• Content Creation: Designers and educators are not just content consumers.
By collaborating with the articial intelligence in KOBI3, they can co-create
new works, ensuring they are both relevant and innovative.
Knowledge Structure: Contents, key terms, and concepts are arranged
like galaxies and planetary systems.
Semantic Exploration: eir placement and relationship are determined
by semantic ties, making it easier for users to access and navigate
vast knowledge spaces, organized by theme.
Exploration of Knowledge: KOBI prioritizes associative thinking over
traditional linear methods of information organization.
Interconnected Learning: e interconnection between concepts
and content is highlighted, promoting critical understanding.
Hololens and Embodiment: e use of Hololens introduces physical
interaction for navigating knowledge structures.
Experiential Learning: By moving and physically interacting with images,
texts, and videos, it is possible to connect with our natural way of learning
using the body.
