7 The Future and Impact of Adaptive Places

This book has presented an approach to designing adaptive places in 3D virtual worlds using grammars and computational agents. Our approach to adaptive virtual worlds is distinctive, and this reflects on the following two aspects.

Our approach associates computational agents with virtual world occupants, rather than virtual world objects. Generative Design Agents (GDAs) serve as personal design agents to users of virtual worlds that can reason, design and act on their behalf in virtual worlds. Shifting the agency from existing virtual world objects to virtual world occupants frees virtual worlds from being static by providing a reasoning process for the world to adapt to users’ needs. GDAs perceive ...
