In this webinar we looked at how simulation modeling can bring both real and virtual worlds to life.
We first focused on the famous "Corrupted Blood" event in World of Warcraft, which showed how player movement and the spread of infection were similar to real-life patterns of disease spread. We then explored the Helldivers galactic war, using a hybrid model to demonstrate how millions of player actions shaped large‑scale outcomes.
Along the way, we shared practical examples of model structures, libraries, and data integration, showing how these tools can spark new ideas in design and simulation.
