MUMBAI:
Virtual worlds have enabled breathtaking vistas on movie screens,
heart-pounding action in computer games, bought millions of people
together and transformed the way we communicate with each other.
Airing from Stanford University and Singapore, the latest CNN Future
Summit program gets to the heart of these remarkable developments
with the biggest global players leading this digital revolution.
CNN's
Kristie Lu Stout hosts the hour long program looking at the blurring
lines between reality and imagination and how these technological
developments are shaping our communities and the lives of our children.
Distinguished panelists include the founders of Wikipedia, Second
Life, Flickr and EA in addition to renowned academics and psychologists
who together form a vision of our future, today.
 And
what will this future look like? The ability to always be in touch
with friends and family will be greatly enhanced when we're able
to see each other in absolute clarity, anywhere, anytime. We'll
find ourselves living, shopping and working more and more inside
online worlds. And in the future, you won't be sitting on your couch
being passively entertained. Films will become more interactive
and more immersive, while games will become more cinematic and realistic.
Indeed the program itself also utilizes many cutting edge techniques
used in modern film and television production in order to capture
the fascinating future of virtual worlds.
