The gaming industry has become one of the largest and most profitable industries today. According to market research, the industry revenues will pass $200 Billion and are expected to reach another $20 Billion in 2024. With the industry growing rapidly, players have become more demanding, expecting better content and quality. This means that game studios need new and innovative ways to make their games more enjoyable. One technique used to improve the player experience is DDA (Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment). It leverages the current player state to perform different adjustments during the game to tune the difficulty delivered to the player …

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) are frequently occurring, yet poorly understood, injuries in sports (e.g., ice hockey) and other physical recreation activities where head impacts occur. Helmets are essential pieces of equipment used to protect participants’ heads from mTBIs. Evaluating the performance of helmets to prevent mTBIs using simulations on anatomically accurate computational head finite element models is critically important for advancing the development of safer helmets. Advancing the level of detail in, and access to, such models, and their continued validation through state-of-the-art brain imaging methods and traditional head injury assessment procedures, is also essential to improve safety. The …
