On the evening of October 25, 2017, the ACT TALK | Art, Creativity, Science and Technology lecture series was held in Room 409 of the Weilun Building at Tsinghua University's School of Management. Hosted by Tsinghua x-lab, the event was jointly initiated by professors from the School of Economics and Management, the School of Humanities, and the Academy of Fine Arts. The session featured a panel of distinguished guests, including Professor Dou Weizheng from the Department of Electronics at Tsinghua University, Mi Qi, founder of Meehan Technology and a 1997 alumnus of the same department, Mao Donghui, Executive Director of Tsinghua x-lab, Liu Yongyong, Vice President of Qidi Digital World (Beijing) Technology & Culture Co., Ltd. and CEO of Qidi Virtual Reality, as well as other industry experts. Over 80 faculty members and students from Tsinghua participated in the engaging discussion.
The ACT TALK series aims to bridge the gap between academic disciplines and industry practices, encouraging students to think creatively and explore the intersection of art, science, and technology. By bringing together leading scholars and professionals, the series fosters an environment where innovation thrives and new ideas are born. Through interactive discussions and real-world insights, participants gain a deeper understanding of how artistic creativity can be combined with technological advancement to drive meaningful change.
Mao Donghui, Executive Director of Tsinghua x-lab, emphasized that the platform is dedicated to nurturing innovative talent among students, alumni, and faculty. It supports experiential learning and team-based projects, helping individuals grow through hands-on experiences and collaborative efforts.
Professor Dou Weizheng, a long-time advocate of interdisciplinary research, shared his insights on the relationship between sound art and audio technology. He explained that while sound is a mechanical vibration, sound art is a time-based sequence that evokes emotion and meaning. According to him, the evaluation of audio technology should not rely solely on objective standards but also on human perception, which remains the ultimate gold standard.
Mi Qi, founder of Meehan Technology, encouraged students to embrace interdisciplinary thinking. He highlighted how such an approach can break down barriers and lead to groundbreaking innovations. He also discussed the future of XR (VR/AR/MR), emphasizing the need for immersive audio environments that adapt dynamically to user interaction.
Meehan Technology has been working on panoramic sound solutions, including low-latency SDKs for VR applications, support for popular game engines like Unity and Unreal, and a VR audio workstation that allows direct editing within virtual environments. Their spherical microphone captures sound in all directions, offering flexibility in post-production.
Following the event, VR Network conducted an exclusive interview with Mi Qi, and more updates will follow. This article is original content from VR Network, and we ask that you cite VR Network and provide a link when sharing.
