Project Details
- This interactive exhibit demonstrates interactions between real users and autonomous agents in an immersive virtual entertainment experience. In a soccer game, teams of autonomous agents compete against each other and real users who can participate as players, spectators, and even referees.
- The immersive experience is supported by a Reality Engine to simulate visual and audio elements.
- Novel elements include: an immersive virtual environment for human/agent interaction, demonstration of autonomous agents technology, and opportunities to observe emergent behavior as agents composed of relatively simple rules combine to produce complex systems.
