The Future of Gaming IET's Seminar

On Wednesday the 12th of December 2012, I and Dr Eike Falk Anderson gave an invited lecture for the IET Birmingham’s Christmas Lecture on 'The Future of Gaming'. We outlined the evolution of computer and video games from their first emergence to the variety of modern games, ranging from casual games on mobile devices to the rich virtual environments found in desktop PC and console games.


Discussion was focused on the different types of games, how game players play and interact with their games and what impact new developments in technology and game mechanics, such as gesture based user interfaces and brain computer interfaces, and emerging trends and changes in player behaviour, such as social gaming and cloud gaming, are likely to have in the future.
