This project aims to inspire a paradigm shift in the algorithms used to generate agent behaviour in commercial games, helping to create a new generation of intelligent games.
DC Labs will make a substantial investment in esports research as part of this world-first collaboration in esports between ESL and the University of York.
Behavioural data from games are highly complex and difficult to visualise and make actionable. We're developing customisable visualisation tools for esports to help make these insights more accessible.
IGGI announces annual conference to take place on 14/15 Sept 2017 with keynotes from Jo Twist from UKIE, Katja Hofmann from Microsoft Research, Samim Winiger from Creative.ai and Mary Flanagan from Tiltfactor.
In collaboration with the IGGI Centre for Doctoral Training, DC Labs are investing over £1m in esports-related research, drawing on a world-leading, multi-disciplinary team of scientists from across Artificial Intelligence, Game Design, Game Analytics, TV production, Interactive Storytelling, Human Computer Interaction, Data Visualisation, Learning Science, Sociology and Psychology.
Your skill in esports games correlates with your intelligence, which suggests we could use IQ tests to find gifted esports players from a young age, even before they play the games.
DC Labs has recreated the sights and sounds of a Viking army camp using a specially designed virtual reality mask, being shown as part of a major new exhibition: Viking: Rediscover the Legend at the Yorkshire Museum.
The MetaMakers Institute at Falmouth are creating games which allow anyone and everyone to express themselves through creating digital games, regardless of their technical skill level.
Theatre has been a fundamental means of communicating stories to audiences in cultures across the world for millennia and is a major part of the UK’s creative landscape.
Organic Art VR surrounds the viewer and places them inside strange evolving forms resembling sea anemones, ancient ammonites and multi-horned organisms with which they can interact. The forms the viewer sees are reminiscent of those one might encounter in an alternative alien evolution.
