Mixed Reality Meets Procedural Content Generation in Video Games

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence and procedural content generation algorithms in mixed reality games is an unexplored space. We posit that these algorithms can enhance the gameplay experience in mixed reality games. We present two prototype games that use procedural content generation to design levels that make use of the affordances in the player’s physical environment. The levels produced can be tailored to a user, customizing gameplay difficulty and affecting how the player moves around the real-world environment.
