The integration of AI technology and Entertainment Science has revolutionized gaming experiences, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This collaboration has become increasingly vital across various industries. The project's goal is to establish empathetic entertainment as a robust research field that can provide insights into human interactions and behaviors.

The integration of AI technology in gaming has brought about significant advancements in research areas such as game-solving and general game-playing (GGP). However, there is a need for more empirical verification of the concept of "motion-in-mind" due to its subjective nature. While AI can assist in identifying enjoyable aspects of games, it still lacks the ability to comprehensively assess levels of distress and break down complex events with imperfect information. To address these limitations, this project aims to combine AI research and entertainment science to establish a new field of study called "comfort in mind" through games.

The World Health Organization reported that the number of people affected by depression has increased in recent years. However, one of the contributing factors that are least investigated is global warming, which has raised the hospital admission rate of depression patients. This study explores the impact of global warming concerning age group and residency on the upswing rate of depression patient hospital admission. The study's objectives are to formulate the relationship of global warming, place of residence, and age to the increasing rate of depression patients, determine the ambient temperature that impacts depression patients adversely, and propose and evaluate a hybrid of DRNN-HMM approach to predict the rising rate of depression patients. The expected implication of the study is a state-of-the-art machine learning approach that can formulate and alert the impact of global warming on depression patients in Malaysia.
