The 21st century is an unprecedented period in
human history full of new challenges and
opportunities created by low cost on demand
and ubiquitous access to both global
knowledge and powerful publishing tools

We are in largely uncharted waters and
technologies which engage, influence,
educate and above all create and sustain
relationships will be critical


Disruptive Communications Technologies


Disruptive Communications Technologies

The internet is different in its scope and impact on business
and society to any previous disruptive technology


Disintermediation

The breakdown in the traditional hierarchical structures of
society poses unprecedented challenges


The Prosumer

The prosumer effect is unique in our history


The Attention Economy

Capturing and retaining attention and loyalty are critical
in today’s digital media society


Immersive Technologies

Games Virtual Worlds Social Networks

Immersive Technologies are commercially very significant
because they engage our discretionary time, attention and
money – they educate, inform and influence society

Serious Games

Serious Games are not a new concept !!

Some Statistics
 Games industry is bigger than movie and music industry
 180 million active gamers in the USA playing on average
13 hours per week
 China 200m, India 105m, Europe 100m, Russia 10m
 One million people played Red Redemption’s Climate
Change Game
 100k people played Floodsim in first 6 weeks
 World Crisis games are very popular e.g. World without
Oil, Evoke, Lost Joules, Innocentive (crowd sourcing)


The Skills Challenge

Developing successful immersive applications requires different
human skills and collaboration across multiple disciplines.
These are rarely found in the same organisation.
Innovation occurs across boundaries between disciplines.

Common Language ?

Multi-Disciplinary Experts speak different languages
Translation and Mediation between disciplines is vital for
common vision and understanding
