Technology Behind the Arena
AI Barcode Arena is brought to life through a combination of modern and cutting-edge technologies working in concert:
Barcode Recognition
Utilizes smartphone cameras to quickly and accurately read standard barcode formats (JAN, ISBN, etc.) from images.
AI (Machine Learning)
Generates unique AI Athlete stats, skills, and appearances based on barcode data. Also handles evolution suggestions and personality generation.
LLM API Integration
Connects securely with external LLM services (OpenAI, Google AI, etc.). Formats game state data, sends prompts, receives actions, and translates them into gameplay.
Prompt Engineering Support
Provides in-game tools, guidelines, and templates to help players craft effective prompts for their chosen LLMs.
Cloud Infrastructure
Manages LLM communication, online matchmaking, API server operations, and player data storage for a stable experience.
AR (Augmented Reality)
Overlays 3D models of AI Athletes and arenas onto the real world through the smartphone camera, enhancing immersion.
Game Engine
Powers the rendering of 3D models, animations, physics, user interface, and overall game logic for efficient development and rich visuals.
By integrating these technologies, we aim to create a novel and engaging gameplay experience unlike any other.
