My project on automatic camera control in computer games presented at TU Dortmund this June.

Along with the new layout, the blog has been enriched with two new demos and one interactive online experiment.
Check  the CamOn Platform Demo to see the lates evolution of my automatic camera control library and the Head Controlled Camera Demo for a preview of my next research direction.
In the Experiments section you can find the Lerpz Escape Experiment, a little evaluation of the effect of different camera control paradigms in 3D games.

A nice example of good integration of explicit player modeling and adaption in the gameplay.

Check this link! You can follow the 2010 Conference on Computational Intelligence in Games… especially me on saturday afternoon at 2:00 PM
More info about the conference and the program http://game.itu.dk/cig2010.

The IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Conference Committee recently approved the change in name, and status, of CIG from a Symposium to a Conference.
The next CIG will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, August 18-21, 2010, at the IT-University. The conference is chaired by Georgios Yannakakis and Julian Togelius. The program chairs are Michael Mateas, Risto Mikkulainen, and Michael Young.

This man is probably one of the most talented game designer of the whole videogame history, author of games like Metal Gear Solid, Zone Of The Enders and Boktai.
If you have some free time and if you are anyhow interested in games, take a look at this.
