The Simulation weblog posts an entry alerting me/us to a nice Gamasutra article, “Postcard From SGS 2005: Inside The Institute for Creative Technologies“. The article includes discussion about ITC‘s ongoing work toward creating increasingly mind-blowing visuals (among other things, graphics guru Paul Debevec is an employee of ITC, so you know this is serious), and also budgets a hefty portion of wordcount to their efforts on developing adaptive artificial intelligence. Definitely worth the read.
