AI 2018 - AI, Games & Virtual Reality

The AI, Games & VR Symposium, acts as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners from academia, education and industry who are involved with the design, development and evaluation of AI in the context of games or virtual reality and any other form of immersive experience (e.g. 360 videos) It focuses on the application of artificial intelligence or intelligent-like techniques, frameworks and theories to the creation of interactive engaging intelligent games. It will address the following areas of research and practice:
The use of AI techniques (planning, learning, evolution etc.) in games, VR and the game/VR design process.
The design and engineering of AI components in commercial games, virtual environments, VR technology, Immersive experiences
AI for serious games, gamification, virtual environments
Automatic or semi-automatic procedural content generation
Intelligent or adaptive player interaction
AI for player/user analytics and modelling player/user behaviour or experience.
Agent pathfinding and decision-making in games and virtual reality applications
Using games or simulations as a platform for building intelligent agents
Environmental simulations for games/VR/immersive experiences
Interactive narrative generation
Intelligent Narrative Technologies
Player perceptions of game AI, VR AI, Immersive experience AI
Experimental AI & Games, AI & VR, AI & immersive experience Papers connecting games to all areas of computational intelligence and traditional AI are considered.
