We have analyzed the game mechanics of GoPop!™ Roundo by FoxMind. For the simpler variant independent of the previous move, the full game tree can be stored in 12 gigabytes and generated in about 15mins. However, just evaluating local probabilities at each step performs very badly against random play and multiple random self-plays until known outcome, two reasonable baseline benchmarks. Evaluating the game tree by self-play to the end -...

Since 2012 we have been building the augmented reality system Magic Mirror based on Kinect V1 and V2's native API. It relies on the magic mirror metaphor, where a large screen shows a mirrored camera view with overlaid graphical elements. In our case, it shows a different face mesh over the person's face which reliably tracks face poses in real time while leaving the eyes and mouth of the person visible for interaction and to improve...

Almost since humans started thinking, they thought about creating artefacts that think as well. The earliest written record of the creation of such an artefact, the Golem, dates around 1630-1650. It is not renowned for its intelligence, however, and easily tricked by its creators. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley described perhaps the first artefact that surpassed its creator in intelligence (not to mention mercifulness), however its base...
