Located at the intersection of art, entertainment and technology, video games occupy a special place in the industrial landscape, particularly in France. This allows the sector, whose financing is one of its main issues, to benefit from a wide range of public support, both cultural and technological. In particular, the video games sector stimulates numerous Research & Development and Innovation activities due to its fast paced evolution in the field of graphic rendering, artificial intelligence, human-machine interaction, physical simulation, procedural generation, sound spatialisation, virtual reality, network infrastructure, or behavioural analysis.
