Ovomind uses a wearable to detect gamer reactions to a game.

Ovomind will show its Gen AI game tech that detects gamer reactions at GDC

Ovomind, an AI and “affective computing” startup, plans to show off the first iteration of its generative AI gaming solution at the Game Developers Conference. It basically detects a player’s reaction on a moment-by-moment basis.

Ovomind said it will debut its Ovomind DK1 at GDC 2025 in San Francisco from March 17 to March 21, 2025. Attendees who visit Ovomind (booth SU12, Startup area, Moscone Convention Center) can experience the DK1’s full capabilities via an interactive tech demo that showcases how emotion-driven mechanics enhance player engagement, retention and storytelling.
