Spatial Awareness
NPCs understand environment
Leave static worlds behind. With Neocortex SDKs, your characters not only see their environment, but they also understand and make sense of it. The Spatial Awareness system transforms objects in the game universe from simple models into dynamic, defined elements that interact with and are incorporated into the characters' decision-making processes.
Spatial Awareness Features
Spatial Awareness gives your characters advanced situational intelligence that goes beyond static information defined in the editor, encompassing instantaneous changes and objects in the game scene.
Three Key Features & Benefits
Thanks to a powerful object identification and tagging system, characters understand the meaning of each object in the game world and how to interact with it. Parallel to the player's perception of the world, NPCs also develop contextual awareness. Other advantages include:
Defining and labeling objects in the game scene as 'Interactable' allows characters to recognize these objects. This enables characters to use the presence and properties of surrounding objects as data input when preparing their responses and actions.
NPCs, instead of simply repeating pre-written dialogues, react logically and appropriately to what is happening around them. This situational intelligence enhances the game's reliability and depth.
The system allows characters to not only rely on information entered during development but also to learn about objects that appear in the scene or whose properties change during gameplay. This enables characters to establish a real-time cognitive connection with the physical world around them.
Spatial Awareness allows you to empower your characters with the ability to understand their surroundings, creating a much more immersive and lifelike gaming experience for players.
