rlm@329 9 * Multiple senses are compelling for AI.
rlm@328 10
rlm@329 11 * Virtirual reality is vastly easier than actual reality.
rlm@328 12
rlm@329 13 * There is no framework for AI experimenmts with multiple senses.
rlm@328 14
rlm@330 15 * Cortex is my attempt at such a framework.
rlm@328 16
rlm@329 17 ** Cortex uses jMonkeyEngine3 to create virtual worlds...
rlm@329 18 ** ...and Blender to describe virtual creatures.
rlm@329 19 ** Senses are all 2d surfaces with embedded sensor elements.
rlm@329 20 ** Thousands of hair-like elements simulate touch.
rlm@329 21 ** Vision is modeled after the human retina.
rlm@329 22 ** Cortex provides general simulated hearing.
rlm@329 23 ** Proprioception and Movement provide a sense of embodiment.
