NEM 2010 Barcelona – Stereo 3D Talk

I’m going to NEM 2010 in Barcelona in a couple of days to talk about our work on Stereo 3D that is going to be used in the upcoming Crysis 2.

It’s the same talk we gave at GDC Europe in Cologne but with revised slides and some new info.

That’s going to be good fun.

“Video Games Lead to Faster Decisions That Are No Less Accurate”

ScienceDaily (Sep. 13, 2010) — Cognitive scientists from the University of Rochester have discovered that playing action video games trains people to make the right decisions faster. The researchers found that video game players develop a heightened sensitivity to what is going on around them, and this benefit doesn't just make them better at playing video games, but improves a wide variety of general skills that can help with everyday activities like multitasking, driving, reading small print, keeping track of friends in a crowd, and navigating around town.

Enuf’ said. Now I can play Starcraft II for as much as I like claiming it’s for my own good.

Off Topic: Scaloppine Magiche

I’m seriously thinking about turning this blog into a cooking blog. Programming is a creative endeavor after all, isn’t it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To create Scaloppine Magiche:

• get thin beef (or veil) filets
• cover the filets with flour on both sides
• heat up olive oil (olive oil!)
• when the meat is half cooked, poor red wine
• serve with roasted vegetables, and the same red wine to drink

 

Squeezing a lemon instead of pouring red wine works equally well.

Enjoy!
