Conversation AI Project

Research Summary

This project was created to demonstrate how Conversational AI (CAI) can be used to increase the players’ experience and immersion in a video game. Being able to speak to an NPC with a microphone and for it to understand and respond adds a new layer of immersion for the player. Couple that with emotion management and recognition and the experience becomes more enjoyable, relatable and immersive. Accurate generation of emotion by a non-player character (NPC) based on events or player interactions enhances the environment of the game world and increases the players immersion. The emotion generated and detected by the NPC can add a new level of challenge and realism to the game.
