Realistic physical interaction of 3D point cloud objects Theme Design and Development Project proposed & supervised by Miles Hansard, Changjae Oh To discuss whether this project could become your PhD proposal please email: miles.hansard@qmul.ac.uk < Back Realistic physical interaction of 3D point cloud objects Project proposal abstract: Point cloud data is becoming widely available, owing to commodity depth cameras and lidar systems. This creates many opportunities for creating 3D game assets, including environments and objects, from scanned real-world data. The realistic rendering of such data has been widely investigated (e.g. https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01017700/) , and can be performed efficiently. However, physical interactions between point clouds, meshes, and other representations are also critical, for gaming and VR applications. These interactions, which include collision, deformation, occlusion, and other effects, may require alternative representations (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.12033) . This project will investigate geometric and machine learning approaches to these open problems, in typical game environments. Supervisor: Miles Hansard , Changjae Oh Based at:

iGGi Partners We are excited to be collaborating with a number of industry partners. IGGI works with industry in some of the following ways: Student Industry Knowledge Transfer - this can take many forms, from what looks like a traditional placement, to a short term consultancy, to an ongoing relationship between the student and their industry partner. Student Sponsorship - for some of our students, their relationship with their industry partner is reinforced by sponsorship from the company. This is an excellent demonstration of the strength of the commitment and the success of the collaborations. In Kind Contributions - IGGI industry partners can contribute by attending and/or featuring in our annual conference, offering their time to give talks and masterclasses for our students, or even taking part in our annual game jam! There are many ways for our industry partners to work with IGGI. If you are interested in becoming involved, please do contact us so we can discuss what might be suitable for you. Valkyrie

Harlan won LESS IS MORE Outbalance won GIT GUD Pseudo Judo won IT’S A FEATURE Many Congrats to the winners! Yet, it needs to be said: With so many little game gems, it’s nigh impossible to pick favourites! The Game Jam wrapped on Friday afternoon - see twitter thread: Previous 13 Jan 2023 Next

< Back iGGi at Develop:Brighton 2023 Following the previous year’s success, the iGGi stand featured again on the Expo floor of the 2023 Develop:Brighton conference . This year’s Expo saw a record breaking 4970 visitors over the two days of its running (43% up from 3471 in 2022), and many of these visitors dropped by the iGGi stand to chat to us. Shifts at the iGGi stand were covered by the conference-attending iGGi PG Researchers (15 in total) who appreciated a break from their (often solitary) thesis/research work. With its stand presence at the Develop:Brighton Expo, iGGi is promoting the intersection between games industry and research. We are looking to engage the two in conversation. We want to foster ways of knowledge exchange that are mutually beneficial to both sides. If you want to learn more about existing pathways of knowledge exchange between iGGi and games companies, you can check out our Industry Info + KE page , but we are also always open for new ideas and formats. Please do get in touch if you require any further information. Previous 14 Jul 2023 Next

iGGi PhD Projects - listing iGGi PhD Projects 2023 Creative Computing This page displays the supervisor-proposed PhD projects on offer under the above stated theme: If you are interested in any of the projects listed and would like further details and/or to discuss, please email the project supervisor. Please note that you can also frame your own project independently granted that you have secured a supervisor's support. For a list of available supervisors please see the accepting students section of our website. While iGGi has checked that the project descriptions listed below are within iGGi's scope , we wish to highlight that you are still responsible for ensuring that your proposal, too, is in line with this scope, and we would further like to point out that supervisor-framed projects are not prioritised in the application selection process: they are judged by the same criteria as applicant-framed proposals. For guidance to make sure that the proposal you submit (regardless of whether it has been supervisor-framed or created entirely by you) sits within iGGi's scope please refer to this link: https://iggi.org.uk/iggi-scope Navigate to other Themes on offer: Game AI Design & Development Player Research Game Audio Game Data Immersive Technology Creative Computing E-Sports Applied Games Back to ALL Projects Creative Computing Novelty Optimisation Can we identify and automatically balance the right amount of novel content we serve to players?
