DELCA

Disembodied location-specific conversational agents (DELCAs) were created at ITU in Oerestadon, Copenhagen.^[1]

The DELCA Project developed by Dr. John Paulin Hansen^{[citation needed]} and funded by ITU's Laboratory for Context-dependent Mobile Communication (LaCoMoCo) is to fashion a new form of digital assistants referred to as "ghosts" that would be able to perform location specific functions such as guide, locate, and watch over specific territories they are programmed to haunt. They are also being fashioned to coherently understand and interact in structured dialogue with a human user by use of advanced AI and sound synthetics.^[1]

The ambitious end result would revolutionize aspects of higher education and the work-place with high-quality area referencing, 3D-tracking, and surveillance with minimal hardware requirements.^{[citation needed]} The team at ITU is ideally poised to create these Auditory Artificial Intelligence agents to be fully functional both externally, and within internal devices such as computers and personal digital assistants.^{[citation needed]}
