A Holodeck in the Home? How the Metaverse, Theme Parks, New Special FX Production and More Could Shape the TV of Tomorrow

Our Grand Finale session will explore how our experience of TV could change dramatically in the next 5-10 years, thanks to new technologies and new forms of creativity that are emerging in such fields as VR/the Metaverse, amusement-park rides, live theater, movie special effects and beyond. Led by a prominent TV UI/UX designer, a panel of experts will share the latest developments in those fields—including innovations they’ve been working on themselves—and debate how these developments might shape the TV of tomorrow. Panelists include:

• Dewey Reid, Principal, EAT.TV (Moderator)
• Hardie Tankersley, VP of Services and VR, Silverdraft
• John Canning, Director of Developer Relations, AMD
• Richard Taylor, Principal, Richard Taylor Design
