AI Tool Turns Disaster Zones into Living Classrooms

In the International Disaster Reconnaissance (IDR) course, students now use Filio, a platform built by Georgia Tech Senior Lecturer and alumnus Max Mahdi Roozbahani (Ph.D. CSE-CSE 2019), to capture immersive 360° media, photos, and video that transform real disaster sites in India and Nepal into living digital classrooms.
