Abstract

AIfred is a robotic arm with a built-in projector that helps you interact with digital information in a natural, hands-on way. By tracking your desk and responding to gestures, AIfred projects useful content right where you work, making tasks like drawing, solving math problems, and learning new concepts more engaging and efficient. With AIfred, you can stay focused, and manipulate digital content directly with your hands, and boost both your skills and confidence—all without leaving your workspace.
