Believable Characters: Are AI-Driven Characters Possible, and Where Will They Take Us?
Wednesday, 3 August, 10:30 am - 12:15 pm
Petree Hall C
Processing power is increasing as fast as player expectations, which raises far more questions than answers:
- Where are we (and our characters) going with artificial intelligence?
- How is interactive entertainment changing in games for Playstation3, Xbox2, and massive multiplayer, online role-playing environments?
- How does AI affect development of emotionally believable characters?
- How can we prioritize and balance graphic techniques to support perceived realism in a character?
- Are there rules or guidelines we can distill from the more successful
game characters?
- What are the subliminal tip-offs that spoil the illusion of credible characters?
In this panel, industry experts, artists, character animators, and programmers share their insights and help us sift through the graphics-technology clutter to uncover some believable character gems and answer some fundamental questions.
