Presented by Rocket Innovation Studios
In this presentation, we'll take a little deep dive into how your favourite games work under the hood! We'll learn all about the NPCs that bring these games to life—how they move, navigate, and avoid obstacles. The content is very beginner-friendly; you don't need to have any prior experience with game development to enjoy this talk!
Location: DC 1304
Speaker: Veronica Reingold is a co-op student at Rocket and a current MSc in Computer Science student at the University of Windsor, where she is researching the topic of applying AI to video game accessibility and user experience. Her research ideas earned her a Vector Scholarship in AI, a Canadian Graduate Scholarship, along with the opportunity to present at the AI and Games Conference in England! She loves the creativity that goes into game-making, and I believe that more creative uses of AI in games can improve game experiences for everyone!
