Presentation Recap

At the XP Game Summit, I participated in a panel titled “Unleashing Potential: The Pivotal Role of R&D in Gaming Innovation,” alongside Julien Coll from CDRIN and Vinay Pandit from AMD. Our panel delved into how game development tools, artificial intelligence and human research all intersect to create next-level gaming experiences that users crave.

I touched on a few key themes throughout our discussion:

• AI, and particularly large language models, are transforming the gaming experience through dynamic non-playable characters
• Augmented reality extends gameplay well beyond the TV to create a truly immersive environment
• Customers are coming to expect greater personalization and interaction from every bit of content they consume, and that includes when they’re gaming
