B-HAVE Module for VR-Forces
Brains for Human Activities in Virtual Environments (B-HAVE) Module for VR-Forces is an artificial intelligence (AI) plug-in, jointly developed by VT MÄK and Autodesk Games Technology Group (formerly known as Kynogon). Based on proven Kynapse technology, B-HAVE automates the complex tasks of creating path data, and performing intelligent entity pathfinding. B-HAVE provides VR-Forces entities with advanced behavioral capabilities by giving them a rich topological awareness of their environment. Complex scenarios are then easily created by assigning entities various behaviors using built in or user developed agents.
Main features:
- Automatic 3D perception and path data generation
- Advanced 3D topology dynamic analysis
- Complete 3D Dynamic Path Finding services for full physics terrain
- Path planning
- Path Smoothing
- Dynamic avoidance
- Standard behavior agents such as Go To, Hide, Flee, Follow, Wander
- Large Scale AI: crowd capabilities, and perception background mechanisms to handle large numbers of entities
Kynapse
Kynapse is a COTS Software Development Kit (SDK) that provides the technology to make virtual entities move intelligently and realistically in a 3D virtual environment. Kynapse is used by video game developers world-wide to design games with hundreds of “Non Player Characters” that are controlled by AI. With Kynapse, these Characters can move in real time in a 3D fully dynamic environment, understand their environment and adapt to changes, cooperate, communicate, drive vehicles, fly helicopters, or simply hide from the player, from each other or from a danger.

Autodesk Games Technology Group develops and markets A.I. software for real-time behavior simulation. Their technology enables virtual characters to move around in any 3D environment, hide, understand their environment, communicate, cooperate, drive vehicles, etc.
"Kynapse for games", a qualified tools and middleware for GameCube™, PLAYSTATION®3, PSP™, PlayStation®2, Xbox 360™ and Xbox™ is the game industries most widely used A.I. middleware and used by Electronic Arts, Atari, Real Time Worlds, Lionhead Studios, Pyro Studios, and Majesco.
"Kynapse for simulation", a powerful, extendable and easy to integrate solution for military or industrial AI simulation, is being used by industry leaders such as EADS, British Aerospace, and Rheinmetall to develop interactive applications such as MOUT simulation, tank or driving simulators, and emergency evacuation simulations.
