Whew! I sure was nervous about going to DICE this year -- it was the first time that I have been asked to speak there, and I didn't want to mess it up! Fortunately, my talk was well received -- and in fact has caught some attention on the internets. You can see a video of it here.I found the other talks fascinating -- from Rich LeMarchand to the, uh, bold Bobby Kotick. And this year there were some really unusual talks, about topics like fish, and optical illusions. I love the Red Rock Hotel, and I love being able to spend time chatting in such an intimate environment with so many cool game industry people. Long live DICE!
Great presentation. I think it was the best of the show. I was disappointed that the video didn't show your slides. Are you going to make them public? I wanted to share it with my crew at work. Thanks, Chip
ReplyDeleteHave you considered releasing your slides online? I would love to see the slides that went along with the talk, particularly during the math section and the conclusion. Fantastic talk, by the way.
ReplyDeleteSorry the video sucks -- they say they'll fix that soon. In the meantime, my slides are here: http://www.slideshare.net/jesseschell/beyond-facebook
ReplyDeleteExcellent and thoughtful talk! Thank you for sharing that. Achievements are *everywhere* these days. You paint a vivid possible future.
ReplyDeleteI saw your presentation today and couldn't wait to share it with my students. Everything you said is so important and valid! Thank you and if you ever want to come and present to some of the design and ad students at MCAD (www.mcad.edu) please contact me.

Thanks for the kind words, Boriana!
ReplyDeleteI just saw your presentation and was very impressed. Great job.
ReplyDeleteBut if what you forecasted comes to pass, I'm less hopeful than you are about its effects on society. While there is no direct parallel, history suggests to me that forced public behavior leads to psychological distortions (e.g., Victorian England). I think our egos need the protection of having some parts of our lives hidden from public view; that becomes the stress relief for our psyches.
