A licensing agreement announced Wednesday will see AI tools from technology provider Xaitment used in Bohemia Interactive's military simulation suite VBS2. According to the companies, the deal "as as a distribution agreement, in essence making future Bohemia Interactive customers Xaitment customers at the same time." Specifically the suite will employ xaitMap, xaitMove and xaitControl, providing 3D path-finding, movement, crowd simulation and character behavior modeling. "Xaitment is a smart choice because it offers both AI editors and runtime libraries, which is a big differentiator in the market," said Bohemia CTO Dr. Mark Dzulko. "Our company is now able to supply our clients around the world with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technology directly integrated with our VBS2 platform." VBS2 creator Bohemia Interactive was also behind the Arma and Operation Flashpoint series, among others. More information on VBS2 is available on its official site.
