What Do Competitive Players Do With Their Settings? A Multi-Game Esports Configuration Survey
Competitive PC games typically expose twenty or more graphics settings to players, each setting representing a tradeoff between visual quality and interactive performance. How players actually work …
Tactical Telemetry: Leveraging Replay Files with AI, for AI
Replays, generated to the tune of hundreds of terabytes a day, are highly compressed, structured traces of competitive decision-making. While replay data has long existed, the interface between raw …
AI Level of Detail: Distance-Aware ML Model Precision Selection for Real-Time Human Motion Prediction in Games
Modern game engines spend significant compute resources animating NPCs with learned motion models. This paper proposes AI Level of Detail (AI LOD), a framework in which machine learning inference …
Improving Interaction by Transforming the Render-Display Pipeline
Over fifty years ago, rendering and display systems were designed for latency-free, recorded media. Yet today's interactive systems --- which suffer significantly from latency --- are still based on …
Understanding Emergent Non-Verbal Communication in the Delta Force Competitive Video Game through Multimodal AI Analysis
Non-verbal communication plays a critical role in multiplayer games, especially in environments where verbal communication is limited or constrained by game mechanisms. Players often rely on gestures, …
