# How Mixed Reality, Azure AI and Drones turned me into a Magician?


- **Date:** Friday, Jul 11, 2025
- **Time:** 10:20–10:50 (30 min)
- **Room:** Stage 3 - Microsoft
- **Event:** World Congress 2025

## Description

What happens when you combine a drone, an XR headset, and a multimodal AI copilot? You get magic. In this short and mind-bending session, I’ll show how I built an immersive system using Unity, Meta Quest 3, Azure OpenAI, and a real drone—where gestures summon flight, speech controls AI, and a digital twin mirrors reality. From a dancing drone  to an AI assistant (“Anna”) that sees, hears, and acts in XR
