Attack on the clones: managing player perceptions of visual variety and believability in video game crowds [PDF]

, 2013
Crowds of non-player characters are increasingly common in contemporary video games. It is often the case that individual models are re-used, lowering visual variety in the crowd and potentially affecting realism and believability.

Massive Crowd Simulation With Parallel Computing on GPU

IEEE Access
The ability to simulate realistic crowds is a highly sought-after capability in the fields of entertainment (video games, movies), urban planning and evacuation simulations. Traditional approaches to crowd simulation rely on heavy Central Processing Unit (CPU) computation. This approach has limitations in terms of scalability and performance, which are

Computer simulation of macro-behavioral patterns in a crowd of pedestrians

THE JAPANESE JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY, 1992
'Banded structure', shown by a collectivity of pedestrians on a large crosswalk, had been documented in a previous observational study (Yamori & Sugiman, 1990). In the present study, such self-organized collective structure is called a macro-behavioral pattern (MBP).

Position-Based Multi-Agent Dynamics for Real-Time Crowd Simulation (MiG paper)

, 2018
Exploiting the efficiency and stability of Position-Based Dynamics (PBD), we introduce a novel crowd simulation method that runs at interactive rates for hundreds of thousands of agents. Our method enables the detailed modeling of per-agent behavior in a

Should We Learn Probabilistic Models for Model Checking? A New Approach and An Empirical Study [PDF]

, 2017
Many automated system analysis techniques (e.g., model checking, model-based testing) rely on first obtaining a model of the system under analysis. System modeling is often done manually, which is often considered as a hindrance to adopt model-based ...

Pedestrian, Crowd, and Evacuation Dynamics

, 2013
This contribution describes efforts to model the behavior of individual pedestrians and their interactions in crowds, which generate certain kinds of self-organized patterns of motion. Moreover, this article focusses on the dynamics of crowds in panic or

Towards a Dedicated Computer Vision Tool set for Crowd Simulation Models

CoRR, 2017
As the population of world is increasing, and even more concentrated in urban areas, ensuring public safety is becoming a taunting job for security personnel and crowd managers. Mass events like sports, festivals, concerts, political gatherings attract thousand of people in a constraint environment,therefore adequate safety measures should be adopted ...

Strategic litigation as a challenge for deliberative democracy

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Strategic litigation is a growing public concern, but remains understudied in democratic theory. In strategic litigation, collectives go to court with a political agenda that goes beyond their specific case. How should we assess the legitimacy of strategic litigation? Building on Lafont's model of deliberative democracy and Klein's distinction

From Theatre to XR: Shaping Immersive Storytelling Design Education through Artistic and Analogue Insights

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract In an increasingly technology‐driven world, this study examined how communication design students can critically and creatively master advanced digital tools to craft immersive storytelling experiences, drawing upon an ‘analogue’ mindset. While immersive experiences are often associated with XR technologies, true immersion transcends the ...
