Gamified and AI-assisted Learning for Quantum Technologies
In the GALaQSci project, we bring the world of quantum technologies right into your hands! A team of professional game developers, quantum scientists, and physics educators are working closely together to create a smartphone game, in which the player needs to solve quantum technology riddles by effectively using features of quantum objects. Our goal is to make the abstract and counterintuitive concepts of quantum technologies accessible and understandable to society through an immersive and educational experience.
GALaQSci is the first AI-based quantum game that provides a broad user base through a smartphone app and, through the AR version, it offers an additional haptic, personalized access for schools, universities, museums, and science centers.
Our part in this project will be to implement an AI co-player that learns how to solve puzzles related to quantum technologies together with the player.
The AI player will reinforce the learning effect through collaborative problem solving and will also act as an opponent. The player will be able to get the AI to solve puzzles for him and ask it what it would do now. As the game progresses, the AI will continue to learn, creating a social learning effect.
The concept and technology for this game character is based on our reinforcement learning architecture brAIn engine.
The project is a collaboration of quantum science, physics education institutions and games studios.
In this project, we are primarily responsible for the implementation of the game AI.
The GALaQSci project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research through the "Quantum Activ: Outreach-Konzepte und Open Innovation für Quantentechnologien" intiative.
