Smart Games at UCIrvine
Computer Gaming Reinvents Computer Science: I recently met with Magda El Zarki and Walt Scacchi at the UCI Center for Computer Games and Virtual Worlds. Starting later this year UCI will offer a new major in Computer Gaming. Walt and Magda think that eventually, computer gaming will find its way into many other disciplines.
Are there investment opportunities for early-stage investors with the new smart games that will surely come from their lab? Chances are good since Orange County is rated one of the 10 best place in the world for gaming.

Good subject matter for you program !!!
Your guests are 'heading up' some of the high level
technologies of the future.
#1: I support their activities...
- virtual worlds as Second Live: GOOD
- Augmented Reality: very good tool
- Computer games: have questionable side effects.
#2: Also not mentioned is the
- study of being able to transgress 'back and forth' in the
Virtual World and the Real World.
Again - Good subject matter for you program !!!

Awesome, just listened to it. (I like the "my friend Goran dragged me in the rain on a stormy night" part!)
