DESCRIPTION
This talk investigates the potential power of serious games and examines some of the future applications. It will highlight a few government sponsored development efforts and look at the positives and negatives of becoming a virtualized society. As games become a deeper reflection of the values we hold from this reality, what do you personally hope to discover through the power of your play?
