< Back iGGi at Develop:North As most of you will be aware, the Develop conference has launched a new location this year in the shape of " Develop:North ". Develop:North took place at The Spine in Liverpool on 14 November 2024. Five of our iGGi PG Researchers attended, and here's a summary of the event from one of them - Ross Fifield: "Develop: North was great. The venue was excellent and Tandem did a superb job organising it as always. Registration was easy and there were no issues as far as I can tell. There was a good mix of talks. It was significantly smaller than Brighton, but not unexpectedly so, given that this was their first go. While a couple of the talks were really quite thought provoking, I personally found the networking opportunities particularly helpful. I'm speculating that the organisers will run Develop:North at a slightly larger scale than this year, but regardless of that, I would recommend this conference to all iGGi PGRs and anyone in the UK who is working in games and adjacent fields." iGGi PGRs at Develop:North in Liverpool, 14 November 2024 Previous 15 Nov 2024 Next

Novel video narrative from recorded content Theme Creative Computing Project proposed & supervised by Nick Pears To discuss whether this project could become your PhD proposal please email: nick.pears@york.ac.uk < Back Novel video narrative from recorded content Project proposal abstract: In order to stimulate interest and engagement in games, it is important to give players a wide variety of video content that can provide scenario variations each time they engage with the game. However, creating a large volume of diverse video content manually is expensive and time consuming. This project aims to generate novel video narratives from recorded content with minimal human intervention. This requires automatic visual scene understanding that generates auto tagging of scene content and scene actions, either on a frame-by-frame or short clip basis. As well as understanding frame content, action segmentation strategies will be developed and evaluated. This will enable construction of short novel video narratives - for example, from a manually-defined storyline. Deep learning tools and techniques will be employed throughout this project.

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. Spirit AI
