**About the talk** The vision of Augmented- and Virtual Reality has always been amazing: To make our interaction with technology as natural as our interaction with the real world. Yet, this promise of a truly human-centered interface has so far largely remained unfulfilled and reality fell short of this promise. This is changing. Recent advancements in AI are the critical catalyst we've been waiting for. When fused with modern Extended Reality (XR) systems, AI is finally starting to fulfil these decade old promises. In this session Robert will provide an overview of how AI is changing extended reality with recent examples. **About Robert** [Robert Adelmann's](https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-adelmann/) cross functional background spans 20 years of innovation in an increasingly merging real and virtual world: From foundational research at ETH and MIT, to start-ups and industry roles ranging from SW engineer and CTO, UX Designer, Head of UX and Augmented Reality, to his current role as Product Manager in Google's Extended Realities (XR / Android XR) organisation. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **💬 The Talk is in English** **📍 \*Note\* The event is happening in a new room \*note\* The event will be held at ETH Zürich Maschinenbau ML, Room F34** *We kindly ask you to arrive 10 minutes early of the event start, so everyone can find a seat due to high attendance.

I'll walk through what it is an show a quick live demo. 19:20 \~ 19:40 *Mykhailo Kamai* **Building Is Easy with AI. How Do You Solve Distribution?** The new reality: Building digital products is largely solved. The real challenge today is reaching and convincing people. The core question If people (not AI) buy products, how do teams actually reach them today - and where does AI help or not help in that process? • Stage 1: Being online (website & presence) Why most businesses still need a website and a clear online presence. Where AI can speed things up, and where human direction is essential (vision, positioning, understanding the audience). • Stage 2: Platforms & distribution channels Overview of major platforms (social, content, newsletters). Where AI-assisted content can work, and where it currently harms trust or results. • Stage 3: Advertising (briefly) • Stage 4: Alternatives & non-digital channels When traditional or less obvious channels (media, partnerships, offline touchpoints) still make sense. **Conclusion AI as a multiplier, not a decision-maker.** What teams can realistically do in-house with limited resources, and where human thinking remains critical. # 19:40 \~ 20:00 *TBD* 20:00 onward More drinks & chat We look forward to see you there!

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
