On October 26, Matteo Moriconi, director of VFXRio, led the masterclass "End of Certainties - IoT, Cloud and AI in the Interpretation of Climate Patterns", highlighting the practical application of these technologies in the analysis of environmental data.

The masterclass "The Generative Weatherman" was a highlight, presenting an integrated system that combines IoT, web processing and AI to create a virtual weather presenter. This avatar, powered by real-time weather sensor data and AI technologies, provides a dynamic and interactive interpretation of weather conditions. The experience not only demonstrated the potential of technological integration, but also made complex information accessible, capturing the public's imagination.
