Ontario Regiment Museum reopens with AI-powered assistant

The virtual assistant, which is named Master Corporal Lana, interacts with visitors over a large screen and was created by CloudConstable and Intel RealSense. "The Ontario Regiment Museum is one of the few museums in the world with such a large and diverse collection of operating military vehicles, which help people experience history in a very real way," said Jeremy Blowers, executive director of the Ontario Regiment Museum. "Regular maintenance is crucial, even during the worst of the pandemic, which is why we turned to CloudConstable and Intel to help build an autonomous solution." Lana can take temperatures using thermal scans, and asks a series of questions to assess risk and exposure to COVID-19. She will also greet visitors, provide contactless check-in, and ensure the museum adheres to visitor limits and other health and safety protocols.
