The Secret Mechanisms - DICE 2013

Editor's Notes

  1. I gave this talk at DICE about how advances in sensing technology will make our entire lives an interconnected series of games. The most common reaction to this was, “Oh my God! It’s 1984!” But technically, it’s Brave New World.
  2. Magical interfacesAI Characters with less “A” and more “I”Payment systems that feel fairSocial systems that bring me closer to family and friendsGames that transform me into the person I want to become
