# Learning layouts in Path of Exile with Vision Transformers: A proof of concept

Where's the exit? This question often crosses the minds of both newcomers and seasoned players alike. The key lies in understanding the game's layouts, especially during the campaign when taking a wrong turn can significantly slow you down. Our project aims to solve this challenge through machine learning.

We've developed a proof-of-concept for learning layouts in Path of Exile using Vision Transformers. We trained a Vision Transformer to predict the direction of the exit in the A3 Marketplace, relying solely on a video of the minimap. You can see the model in action in the video above: the red arrow indicates the predicted exit direction, while the green arrow shows the actual direction.
