Infinite Art Gallery is a game that uses established methods of evolving art with Compositional Pattern Producing Networks (CPPNs) to allow users to explore a world of art tailored to their preferences.
Ken Stanley was in the audience at Isabel's talk, and proposed that the animations should be influenced by human interaction, such as having a CPPN input that the user directly controls. I have a specific idea of how to apply this to the Infinite Art Gallery: Add a CPPN input for images that is defined to be the distance from the point on the image that the user is currently looking at. Then, as the user moves the mouse to look at the image, it would shift and change. I think this would be awesome, but I worry that it is not computationally feasible to change the image in front of the user rapidly enough. Still, I wanted to make an issue to track this idea while it was fresh in my mind.
