The annual TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference videos are up, and this year visionary game designer Dave Perry - who most recently has been breaking new ground with an innovative approach to Massively Multiplayer Online Game development - joins the likes of Will Wright, Wii hacker Johnny Lee, and, well, Al Gore as an invited speaker.
Here's what the TED website says about his talk:
Game designer David Perry says tomorrow's videogames will be more than mere fun to the next generation of gamers. They'll be lush, complex, emotional experiences -- more involving and meaningful to some than real life.
As the audience is invested in yet not particularly au fait with games and game culture, Dave's talk is quite high level. However, as is TED's wont, it is inspirational and future-thinking.
