Students will also be able to showcase their own outputs to broader audiences with the display.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-recorded messages and talks from industry partners and alumni are on the agenda, too, together with interactive guidance and information for prospective students, parents and guardians, provided by an AI avatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/aside>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"dcr-1lpi6p1\">Speaking to the Guardian, Prof Vikki Locke, director of undergraduate studies at Loughborough business school, said students \u201cabsolutely love\u201d the technology and have been begging for selfies with the gadget.
