Digital media industry leaders, including the EDC's vice president of technology and entertainment Suzy Spang, recently gathered at Digital Media Alliance of Florida's (DMAF) quarterly Digital Media Seminar (DiMeNar) hosted by Full Sail University to discuss the latest trends and developments in the industry and their impacts on Florida's digital media businesses and professionals.
The result of the discussion? Florida is clearly ahead of the "game" when it comes to digital media and the Metro Orlando region is on path to our goal of "world domination" in this industry sector! Already a leader in digital media, Metro Orlando is home to industry resources such as DMAF and the Employ Florida Banner Center for Digital Media. In addition, companies such as Electronic Arts (EA) Tiburon, n-Space, and Helios Interactive - a full-service game development studio and 3D software technology company - call Orlando home.
Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer was also on hand at DiMeNar to kick off the international product launch of Helios Interactive's flagship product, GameCore 2.0. This new technology is designed to create full 3D games, virtual worlds and other interactive 3D content without the traditional barriers of complex technology, programming expertise and high development cost. It is thought that this product could revolutionize the 3D game and simulation industry.
Helios' launch is a sign of the ongoing evolution of Orlando as THE place for digital media companies.
