A Virtual Maze Game to Explain Reinforcement Learning

We demonstrate how Virtual Reality can explain the basic concepts of Reinforcement Learning through an interactive maze game. A player takes the role of an autonomous learning agent and must learn the shortest path to a hidden treasure through experience. This application visualises the learning process of Watkins' Q(λ), one of the fundamental algorithms in the field. A video can be found at https://youtu.be/sLJRiUBhQqM.
