NAB: Artificial Intelligence Is the Next Frontier for Virtual Reality

Artificial intelligence will begin to play a more vital role in areas such as virtual reality and gaming, agreed several speakers Sunday at the National Association of Broadcasters Show's Future of Cinema Summit. "We have been talking about using AI in gaming, but it's more a simulated intelligence. If the player does something that's not in the list [of actions, it won't properly respond]," said Kevin Bolen, immersive and interactive audio designer at Skywalker Sound. "I think the next generation is an artificial character that responds and interacts appropriately based on what the player does. This will give us a chance to create interesting experiences."
