AI Level of Detail: Distance-Aware ML Model Precision Selection for Real-Time Human Motion Prediction in Games

Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern game engines spend significant compute animating NPCs with learned motion models. This paper proposes AI Level of Detail (AI LOD), a framework in which machine learning inference precision is adapted based on the distance between each NPC and the player camera. The core idea mirrors classical geometry LOD: substitute a cheaper approximation where the difference is imperceptible.
