Personal profile

Research Interests

Professor Horn’s research involves using artificial intelligence to expand the expressive potential of computational media such as games and interactive narrative. He is interested in exploring alternative genres and interaction modes that afford new kinds of experiences not normally targeted by digital games. His recent work has focused on building constraint programming systems that artists and designers can use to build generative systems. Constraint programming allows designers to specify desiderata for the generated artifacts without having to develop a bespoke algorithm for generating them.
