| Ray Kurzweil To Deliver Keynote at G.A.M.E.S. Synergy Summit The Interactive Entertainment Institute, LLC (IEI) is proud to announce that Ray Kurzweil is the plenary keynote speaker for the G.A.M.E.S. Synergy Summit 2006 (GSS06) held at the beautiful Wyndham Orlando Resort on January 17-18. Ray Kurzweil, called "the Restless Genius" by the Wall Street Journal and dubbed "the Ultimate Thinking Machine" by Forbes Magazine, is the renowned inventor, entrepreneur, author, and futurist. Widely regarded as one of the leading inventors of our time, Kurzweil was the principal developer of the first omni-font optical character recognition (OCR), the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first CCD flat-bed scanner, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments, and the first commercially marketed, large-vocabulary speech recognition. His national best-selling novel, The Age of Spiritual Machines, has received worldwide acclaim and reached #1 status on Amazon.com in the categories of both Science and Artificial Intelligence. His latest book, The Singularity is Near, already in its fourth printing, takes convergence to the next level where man, machine and computer merge. An acronym for Government, Academic, Military, Entertainment and Simulation, the G.A.M.E.S. Synergy Summit is the premier conference addressing the convergence of interactive gaming, immersive entertainment and simulation tools, techniques and technologies for beneficial applications. Developers, practitioners, users and policy makers from each of these synergistic sectors learn together how the best attributes of each discipline can be combined in new and useful ways to address a broad range of non-entertainment applications for game-based technologies.
