Rich Hilleman, VP, Chief Creative Director, Electronic Arts
Thursday, January 19, 2012, 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM
Location: The Dark Lab (Digital Arts Research Center, Room 108)
Hosted By the Center for Games and Playable Media

Abstract:

In his talk, Rich will explore how new game services based on open telemetry and second screen can evolve new game services. Those same factors are shifting control of the content and the initiative on new design from the game builders to the players. This creates whole new models of development and interaction, and we will need everyone’s help to make it happen.
