Artificial Intelligence (AI)(hybrid meeting – on-site and remote)
9:30 – 10:30 am 

In April, SIG Leader Howard Harkness’ topic for the AI SIG will be: “Hi, I’m Devin. I’m here to take your jobs. All of them.”

Howard also plans to skim over what he considered to be the most significant AI news, pruned down to a list that I hope won’t overwhelm everyone.

We will be presenting on-site at NUMC, and remotely via Zoom at https://bit.ly/3OVHqcf

Special Presentation
(hybrid meeting – on-site and remote)

10:30 – 11:30 am (New Time) 

In April, Inderjit (Indy) Singh will present on Virtual Reality, one of many topics he can cover as an Adjunct Professor in Collin College’s Continuing Education program.

Given that we only have one hour at Saturday’s NTPCUG meeting, Indy will no doubt be abbreviating the information he will be providing at Collin college, including:

  • History of VR and latest industry trends
  • Experiences in using the latest VR headsets
  • Use cases for different industries
  • … and more

Indy can also refer you to his Continuing Education class, which begins April 25th.
