Our next speaker for our latest GamesBeat\u00a0event is Richard Marks, a senior research engineer at Sony Interactive Entertainment. He will talk about a variety of subjects at our\u00a0GamesBeat Summit 2017: How games, sci-fi, and tech create real-world magic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year, Marks spoke on \u201cWhat Works in VR and What Doesn\u2019t<\/a>\u201d at our GamesBeat 2016 event in Los Angeles. Marks is one of the pioneers of virtual reality, as he was recently running the Sony PlayStation Magic Lab that came up with the PlayStation VR technology. He also helped work on Sony\u2019s PlayStation Move controller and the PlayStation Eye camera.<\/p>\n

Marks has worked at Sony\u2019s game division for 17 years. He has a doctorate in philosophy, aeronautics, and astronautics from Stanford University.<\/p>\n

Inspiring moments lead to disrupting the worlds of gaming, tech, and entertainment. Who hasn\u2019t been inspired by great novels like Neal Stephenson\u2019s Snow Crash<\/em>, which gave us virtual worlds, or Tom Cruise\u2019s data gloves and gesture-controlled computer in Minority Report<\/em>? Now those things have become real, and we want to see what\u2019s coming next.<\/p>\n

Our theme is about what inspires game creators, executives, and investors to be creative. Part of the event will focus on the inspiration cycle that is accelerating as the walls between science fiction, video games, and real-world technology come down. We don\u2019t think there\u2019s another conference that focuses on the seams between industries.<\/p>\n

This event will focus on inspiration and creativity. So much of what used to be science fiction is coming true, and it is inspiring even more accelerated visions of the future in games and other\u00a0entertainment. We hope to inspire you by taking you to the moments that led to great ideas across multiple industries. You\u2019ll leave refreshed and inspired to change the worlds of gaming, technology,\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n

We think this conference will offer a rare chance for cross-pollination and networking between high-level people in different industries, and we believe that insights in one place can lead to inspirations in another.<\/p>\n

This conference is for high-end gaming executives, startup CEOs, developers, investors, publishers, marketers, tech experts, entertainment industry professionals, sci-fi experts, AR and VR executives, and other professionals. I should also point out that this is where we try to create an actual GamesBeat community with our supporters, readers, and attendees. We gather the right people in the room and encourage everyone to get to know each other. Join us<\/a>.<\/p>\n
