Headless software is software capable of working on a device without a graphical user interface. Such software receives inputs and provides output through other interfaces like network or serial port and is common on servers and embedded devices.
Headless agents and games
Video games typically use a headless server for simulation of a multiplayer environment. {{Blockquote Additionally, headless clients can be used to automate testing, play as NPC AIs, or integrate with an external artificial human companion system. Headless simulations of games are used to accelerate the rate of gradient descent in machine learning, for example, by enabling large batches of simulation to be run in parallel. == Headless rendering ==

When no physical screen is present, software can still be used to render images for many applications. In a headless website configuration, the frontendpresentation is server-side rendered. Headless rendering is also used in films and generation of synthetic data. For example, Blender provides command-line rendering. == See also ==
