Sweden Game Conference 2018

Computer vision has evolved significantly over the past years. It is now possible to use the technology to detect emotions of players in real-time. The process involves the detection of heart rate and facial expressions, all performed remotely using a camera. No sensors or touching the player. In this talk, you will see a software (and the research behind it) that can tell if a player is stressed or bored in real-time during the interaction with a game.

A look at the current state of the Unreal Engine, and what our vision is for the future. From Fortnite and its impact on the engine, through our push for high end mobile, developments within the film and automotive industries, to our focus on building a sustainable platform for indie developers. The work we are doing with rendering and raytracing, as well as a look at recent Unreal Engine releases and which improvements you can expect in the months ahead.

Designing the behaviour of a small society in extreme conditions was not an easy task. Especially from the programming perspective. We had to translate the needs, subtle changes, reactions, habits and everyday hardships of the people into gameplay mechanisms and configurable numbers. And still make an egaging game. The talk will present design solutions used to address this problem from the programmers perspective.
