Children of the Sun is a video game you can buy. It has received generally favorable reviews. If you don't believe it, that's what Wikipedia says. (Also it's 60% off right now in the @devolverdigital.com Publisher Sale if you feel like spending money 👀)

New at #SIGGRAPH2025:

Can we make Perlin Noise stretch along some underlying vector field? Well it turns out it's possible with two simple additions to the original method! No need for advection or convolutions.

Find the paper and implementations here:

If any other journalists would like to talk more about this, then please get in contact via the email on my website.
I'm keen to help more people understand the extent of tracking performed by these computer vision systems, & I've collated some astonishing claims from the companies making this tech

If I can make it any clearer:
This video I took back in 2019 shows a live demonstration of a similarly advertised computer vision system.
In this demo you can see how people's movements are traced, their ages (poorly) estimated, and unknown 'visitors' are logged with an automatically assigned ID.

...and let me tell you, this instant replay system is pretty terrifying, but it's just the tip of the iceberg.
I don't think most people understand that your ENTIRE BODY is being tracked and analysed: including you journey around the store, what you pickup and hold, and even where you're looking!!

I spoke with the BBC this morning, commenting on invasive camera based tracking systems being rolled out in UK stores.
As a game dev I have been uniquely exposed to the powerful computer vision technology that is now being used to track and analyse everyday shoppers...

Tesco shoppers mock 'VAR'-style cameras at self-checkout

The supermarket's latest use of technology to crack down on shoplifting has led to both jokes and complaints.

I'm organising a technical art meetup at Develop: Brighton! ✨
I found it hard to find others last year so wanted to try running a little group this time. Even if you can't join, do share so others can see it.
