Virtual Worlds: Past, Present, and Future April 15, 2005

"Moore's law is enabling the explosive growth of persistent virtual worlds. These environments present an opportunity for great advances in game play, social interaction, education, and business. Come meet three distinguished gentlemen who have a lot to say about the role of virtual worlds and video games in society: a pioneer of video games and founder of Atari, a virtual world journalist, and the director of USC's Center for Advanced Research in Technology for Education.

The three talks will be followed by a panel Q&A session from 9:15 - 9:30 (we usually end up staying later talking and answering questions). After the salon, we will walk down to the California Pizza Kitchen restaurant at the corner of Broxton and Weyburn in Westwood Village."

Pizza with Nolan Bushnell!? This sounds great.
