He's a former fellow at Stanford and one of the original founders of the field of behavioral AI. In today's gaming landscape, AI characters have become a staple, featuring in nearly half of all titles. Yet, when these characters arrive in XR, they often plunge into the "uncanny valley" due to their stiff and scripted demeanor. With our recent VR game, "Space Companions", we've discovered that this valley can be narrowed by blending two emerging technologies. Behavioral AI endows characters with realistic motions and interactions in virtual spaces, whereas conversational AI equips them with the ability to participate in deep, adaptive conversations. This presentation explores the challenges and potential benefits of merging these two unique technologies. 🪶 Find VIRTUAL BEINGS Here: Website: https://virtualbeings.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/virtualbeings/ Discord: https://discord.gg/WKH5ufGuUu Twitter: https://twitter.com/virtualbeings 🔎 Connect with Wendelin Reich Here: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendelin-reich/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/wendelinreich ✨ Connect with XReality Pro Here: Website: https://xrealitypro.com/ Discord: https://discord.gg/KxtQrnd8cX LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xrealitypro/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xrealitypro/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/xreality_pro Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/XRealityAcademy/ Podcast: https://apple.co/3iMMzAM YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@xrealitypro
