The Intelligent Virtual Environments Group explores new modes of user interaction based on artificial intelligence techniques.
This work has applications in new media, computer games and simulation. It can also provide new experimental platforms, for instance for psychological research. In particular, the group has gained an international reputation for its research in interactive storytelling.
Over the past years, it has attracted nearly £1.5m in external funding and its members have published over 100 papers. The group is currently involved in two Framework 6 Integrated Projects in the field of multimodal interfaces.
