Serious Virtual Worlds '08

In beautiful Coventry, England today and tomorrow is the Serious Virtual Worlds '08 conference, as part of the Serious Games Institute of Coventry University.  Hosted by Sara de Freitas and David Wortley, the conference has been at the forefront of mixed-reality events and location-integration between the real and virtual worlds.

I had the good fortune to keynote the conference last year and again this year.  Below is a link to a swf (flash) file of my slides, which I will annotate with audio (or link to the show video recorded) when I get back to my home base next week.
