Adaptive Audio to Player Actions and Gameplay: a New Video Game

abstract- Various research studies, with contradictory results, indicate that tempo synchronization affects player performance differently depending on whether it is aligned with gameplay or player actions. To test this hypothesis, this demo presents a customized 3D video game with a dynamic audio system, allowing separate synchronization with game states or player decisions. Empirical tests have shown that the audio is well synchronized with in-game events. Moreover, the created game is intended to offer an immersive setting suitable for examining the diverse effects of musical alignment on player abilities.
