  • Perceptual thresholds for foot slipping in animated characters

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    The computer game industry continues to progress toward realistic-looking character motion. However, even in state-of-the-art games, the use of motion capture data in character animation may result in errors such as “foot slipping,” where the feet do not match up with the floor properly during translation. Various algorithms have been...

  • Believable automotive flocking model

    Creator:
    McGregor, Jessica L.
    Abstract:
    The high cost of manually producing background characters creates a demand for a way to automatically generate plausible behaviors. These background extras need to behave in a manner that is believable such that they do not distract the focus of the audience from the primary action occurring in the scene....

  • Domain-specific language support for experimental game theory

    Creator:
    Walkingshaw, Eric
    Abstract:
    Experimental game theory is the use of game theoretic abstractions—games, players, and strategies—in experiments and simulations. It is often used in cases where traditional, analytical game theory fails or is difficult to apply. This thesis collects three previously published papers that provide domain-specific language (DSL) support for defining and executing...

  • UCT for tactical assault battles in real-time strategy games

    Creator:
    Balla, Radha-Krishna
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of tactical assault planning in real-time strategy games where a team of friendly agents must launch an assault on an enemy. This problem offers many challenges including a highly dynamic and uncertain environment, multiple agents, durative actions, numeric attributes, and different optimization objectives. While the dynamics...

  • Comparative Look at Spectator Identification in Films and Video Games

    Creator:
    Reiner, Taylor
    Abstract:
    Often, characters of entertainment works, such as movies, books, or video games, display traits that people find relatable. In certain cases, a spectator of a work will develop such a strong psychological bond with a character that they identify with them. Identification with fictional characters is usually a subconscious act...

  • A Study on Graphics Quality in Smartphone Games

    Creator:
    Glenn, Shady E.
    Abstract:
    As of February 2012, approximately 46% of American adults own a smartphone. The graphics quality of these devices gets better each year. However, they still have many more limitations in graphics processing and storage space than desktop computers. This means that applications on these devices should focus on optimizing their...

  • Explanations and Information Foraging in Real-Time Strategy Games

    Creator:
    Penney, Sean J.
    Abstract:
    Assessing and understanding intelligent agents can be a difficult task for users who may lack an artificial intelligence (AI) background. A relatively new area, called “explainable AI,” is emerging to help address this problem, but little is known about how to present and structure information that an explanation system might...

  • An evaluation of game controllers and tablets as controllers for interactive TV applications

    Creator:
    Cox, Dale J.
    Abstract:
    There is a growing interest in bringing online and streaming content to the television. Gaming platforms such as the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii are at the center of this digital convergence; platforms for accessing new media services. This presents a number of interface challenges, as controllers designed for gaming...

  • Modeling and dynamics analysis of P2P networks based on evolutionary games

    Creator:
    Cho, Seungyun
    Abstract:
    Since free riders in P2P network reduce the system's performance, how to maintain and encourage the nodes' cooperation is an important aspect of P2P related research. In this thesis, a P2P system is modeled based on two games: stag hunt game and snowdrift game. To relate the model to the...

  • Analysis of bio-based composites for image segmentation with the aid of games

    Creator:
    Inouye, Jennifer A.
    Abstract:
    A fundamental problem in computer vision is to partition an image into meaningful segments. While image segmentation is required by many applications, the thesis focuses on segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images for analysis and quality control of composite materials. The key research contribution of this thesis is a novel...
