Today I (instructor Carl) I had to luck to meet Jesse Schell. He was the key note speaker at Unite 2010 in Montreal. His lecture on the future of gaming was a real eye opener in our future and how much gaming and our virtual companion (~ Avatar) will be part of real/virtual life. Check out his website: http://www.jesseschell.com/ and read his book!
Jesse Schell has taught Game Design and led research projects at Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center since 2002. Jesse is also the CEO of Pittsburgh’s largest videogame studio, Schell Games, and the former chairman of the International Game Developers Association. In 2004, he was named one of the world’s Top 100 Young Innovators by Technology Review, MIT’s magazine of innovation. Before coming to Carnegie Mellon, he was the Creative Director of the Disney Virtual Reality Studio, where he spent seven years as designer, programmer and manager on several projects for Disney theme parks and Disney Online. Before that, he was a software engineer at IBM and Bell Communications Research, and a writer, director, performer, juggler, comedian, and circus artist for both Freihofer's Mime Circus and the Juggler's Guild.
