Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Inventor, futurist, AI theorist and all-round smart person Ray Kurzweil has launched Superstruct – an MMO that aims to find out what life will be like in the next ten years.
Today’s Game Developers Conference keynote featured a uniquely distinguished individual. Instead of a background in coding or art design, Ray Kurzweil has been “inventing” computer products since the 1970s, pioneering such areas as the optical technologies you see in products from Xerox.
Today, with the aid of countless charts tracking the exponential growth of technology over the past 150 years, Kurzweil explained gaming in the year 2029. And no, we’re not “drinking the Kool-Aid”. Instead we’ve opted to siphon gallons of the stuff intravenously into our bloodstream.
The Game Developers Conference just announced that renowned inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil will be delivering one of the keynotes at the upcoming GDC in San Fan. His talk, entitled The Next 20 Years of Gaming, will look at the future of the video game world and electronic entertainment. I expect there will be talk of sex with robots, but maybe that’s just me.. and that guy Mark and Mike fell in with at Leipzig.
Kurzweil has written numerous books on science and holds more awards than we have space to print here, well that’s not true, but it’s certainly more than you would want to read through.
“Bringing the future to life today has always been at the heart of the game industry, so it’s essential to have our vision refreshed by one of our greatest living thinkers,” said Jamil Moledina, executive director of the Game Developers Conference. “As a technology inventor and prophetic visionary, Ray Kurzweil is that rare individual who can inspire the next evolutionary step forward in what games can do.”
The talk is set for Feb. 21 at 10:30 a.m.
