Interplay has re-emerged and launched a series of new websites pertaining to their older IPs, including 'Descent.' I had hoped that the IP reverted to the original creators after Interplay went MIA for several years. Once being part of the original 'Descent 2 & 3' development team, I recently proposed a new faction-based multiplayer online game entitled Descent Dominion. The project blended some of the best classic 'Descent' gameplay elements with exciting new features enabled to meet or exceed today's new generation of online multiplayers. In any case, it is nice to see 'Descent' back online!

So your sitting in your living room - watching your favorite sitcom when your daughter runs in and asks you to help her figure out what she needs to take with her in order to survive an epic wilderness adventure. The response that comes to mind might be - "I'll be there in a little bit - as soon as I'm done watching my show."
Another voice inside your head says "I don't have much experience with those online games" or "I had a hard day today - I really need to flat-line." Finally, a third voice reminds you that you have not spent much time doing something that your child would like to do, and then you wonder if games are good for them or not - or 'why can't they just go outside and play with the other kids like the good ole' days.' But wait a minute - the good ole days are here and now and today kids play with one another online. Sure you might forbid their access, but not for long.

 "There is no Sanctuary" exclaimed Logan Five to the City Interrogation Computer in the classic 1976 film "Logan's Run." In that sequence the audience glimpsed one of the first mainstream implementations of a hologram.
Today the hologram (or a more advanced iteration of the notion) has been developed in Munich Germany, by Metaio GmbH. The tag is "Augmented Reality" (AR) and it allows virtual 3D information to be superimposed seamlessly into the real environment at real-time. AR systems are a whole new kind of interface between the real world and the computer-generated 3D world of virtual reality.
"The implementations for this are astounding" says Daniel McMillan, owner and visionary of Cosmic Origins, a new Metaio US partner. "Today we are witness to science-fiction as fact, just as Jules Verne envisioned man on the moon, Metaio has virtually developed man in thin air."
