Description
When
computers automatically generate video game environments, the
result is often as simplistic as a randomly generated maze. Using
the Open Mind Common Sense knowledge base, we are exploring ways
to automatically generate virtual environments that are immersive
and intelligently designed. By allowing video games to dynamically
create their own environments, developers will be able to reduce
the time they currently spend crafting environments by hand and
focus on higher level design issues. More importantly, games that
are capable of changing their own environments will feel less
static, resulting in a
more believable experience and an increased replay value.
