A Playable Evolutionary Interface for Performance and Social Engagement
نویسندگان
چکیده
An advanced interface for playable media is presented for enabling both musical performance and multiple agents’ play. A large format capacitive sensing panel provides a surface to project visualizations of swarm simulations as well as the sensing mechanism for introducing human players’ actions to the simulation. An evolutionary software interface is adapted to this project by integrating swarm algorithms to playable interface functionality with continuous auditory feedback. A methodology for using swarm agents’ information to model sound synthesis is presented. Relevant feature extraction techniques are discussed along with design criteria for choosing them. The novel configuration of the installation facilitates a unique interaction paradigm that sustains social engagement seamlessly alternating between cooperative and competitive play modes.

Advancing Performability in Playable Media: A Simulation-based Interface as a Dynamic Score
When designing playable media with non-game orientation, alternative play scenarios to gameplay scenarios must be accompanied by alternative mechanics to game mechanics. Problems of designing playable media with non-game orientation are stated as the problems of designing a platform for creative explorations and creative expressions. For such design problems, two requirements are articulated: 1...

متن کاملDiscovering Unique Game Variants
We present a method for computationally discovering diverse playable game variants, using a fine-tuned exploration of game space to explore a game’s design. Using a parameterized implementation of the popular mobile game Flappy Bird, we vary its parameters to create unique and interesting game variants. An evolutionary algorithm is used to find game variants in the playable space which are as f...

Playable cities are smart cities that allow artists, urban designers, and city dwellers to introduce sensors and actuators or use already in-place sensors and actuators for playful applications. These applications allow users to interact with street furniture or with and in public buildings. Sensors and actuators can be embedded in street furniture and public spaces, they can be addressed direc...
