Emerging Tech: The Future

AI in games and pipelines, new input, new business models.

We track technology that hasn't reached the mainstream yet: AI built into graphics pipelines (Project Helix "integrates intelligence directly into the graphics and compute pipeline"[Xbox Wire]), Arm-based gaming devices like the Steam Frame, and hand-authored systemic worlds like Fable's Living Population. Every article separates confirmed facts from our analysis.
