How to Save FPS Games (Visual AI Cheat Detection)

Description

The rise of "closet hacking" poses a massive threat to what is not only a passtime & means of community, but a quickly growing industry that is esports and streaming. This video outlines the issues with the industry today, and proposes a theoretical solution to one of the leading problems within the industry: Performance enhancing humanized machine assistance.

Creative ideas are needed just as much as developers. https://discord.com/invite/SgpnrUm What is WALDO? A deep learning Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) can detect the human behavioral characteristics of a user within a video game. We plan to train an A.I. to understand how humans play video games via a visual machine learning program. Once the program understands how humans play video games based on gameplay footage, we can then feed the it gameplay footage to determine if the player in the footage is receiving assistance from a 3rd party "hack" or "cheat" program. The first goal to acheive is detection of the most prevalent "closet hack" which is humanized aim-assist. We will build a program that can extrapolate mouse movement data from gameplay footage via 3D imaging and optical flow. Once accurate mouse data can be logged from gameplay footage successfully, we can then begin to train the A.I. what human aim looks like in a video game. This will be done by providing data to the program from gameplay that has been verified as human. With enough data, we will have a trained A.I. program that can tell if aim within any given piece of gameplay footage is human or machine assisted. Future iterations of the program will include detection of many more forms of closet hacking. Phase 1 focuses primarily on humanized aim-assist. Upon completion of phase 1, WALDO's main function will be vindication and clarity to many recent "hackusations."
