In this Lunchtime Talk Taru Muhonen will share her learnings from doing Unity development with AI for half a year, and how it has changed her workflows both for design & development. How much 3D application development can AI do currently? And what can't it do?

Taru Muhonen is an interaction designer with M.Sc. in Human-Computer Interaction & B.Sc. in Computer Science, and has worked with XR technologies for over 10 years. Currently she's developing her own drawing application Spira and does XR design freelancing.
