2. Introduction
A real-time simulation of the spreading of a virus in a building
Simulates the path of a virus spreading from host to host
Can see what style of buildings reduce the chance of a virus spreading 2

3. Background Main system, graphics, interface are all written in Java
Information on virus spreading
Airborne 3

4. Background Potential field AI concept for basic directional steering 4 4

5. Background
Main pathing uses “probe points” 5

10. Results
Virus
Smaller hallways cause an increase in people density, and increase the chance of getting infected
Pathing
You cannot rely on only one type of pathing algorithm alone
Potential field + “probe points” 10
