AR for Tourism

— Embracing Melaka’s identity as a historic state and UNESCO World Heritage Site, AdViT, in collaboration with UTeM and the Melaka State Government, is driving innovation in the tourism sector through cutting-edge research in augmented reality. This system enhances the visitor experience by seamlessly overlaying digital narratives, visuals, and interactive elements onto physical heritage sites—offering tourists a richer, more engaging journey through Melaka’s cultural legacy.

Voice Controlled Game for Upper Limb Impaired Person

— AdViT takes the lead in pioneering a voice-activated gaming platform that empowers individuals with upper limb disabilities to interact and play through speech commands. This innovation opens new doors for inclusive digital entertainment, ensuring that everyone has a voice—and a way—to play.

Social Media Phishing

— A research initiative dedicated to detecting and preventing phishing attacks on social media platforms by leveraging intelligent interaction techniques and user-awareness tools. This effort aims to empower users with smarter protection and heightened awareness, making online spaces safer and more resilient against cyber threats.
