Summary

  • Latent Technology, a London-based game technology start-up that uses AI-driven physical animation, has completed an $8m seed funding round to scale its breakthrough animation technology.
  • The organisation uses Generative Physics Animation to enable characters to move in real-time in response to gamer and environmental interactions, thereby creating new avenues for player experiences.
  • The technology is currently in development and is built on Phoenix, a proprietary generative physics animation model.
  • The funding will help to further develop the Latent Behaviour Engine, which allows developers to create and deploy emergent behaviours based on generative physics in gaming.
  • An additional goal is to recruit more staff to double the six-person team by the end of the year.
