VIEW 2015 has added a special Celebration of Laika's 10th Anniversary, and also several special presentations about the Future of Videogames, to this year's extraordinary gathering of talent. This year's VIEW Conference will be, without question, the best one we've ever presented! says Professor Maria Elena Gutierrez, Executive Director. I can't wait for this year's conference to begin. VIEW 2015 takes place in beautiful Torino, Italy October 19 to 23.

Among its dozens of outstanding presentations, VIEW 2015 will host a special 10- Year Anniversary Presentation by stop-motion animated specialists Laika. Visual effects supervisor Steven Emerson will present the world of big visual effects inside the tiny world of Laika, and will screen the Laika hit films Coraline and Paranorman.
VIEW is also hosting various sessions on the Future of Videogames:
** Let's Play Together: The Culture of Multiplayer in Videogames & Message In A Bottle: The Story of Telling Stories in Videogames :
Led by Marco Mazzaglia, IT Manager/Videogame Evangelist with Ovosonico, the Let's Play Together workshop will discuss how Massively Multiplayer Online games like World Of Warcraft are only the final step of different ways of playing with other people. The goal of the workshop is to teach different ways of playing together, not only bounded to usual controller devices like keyboard/mouse/joypad, in order to enable attendees to start making their own best multiplayer game.
In his talk The Story of Telling Stories in Videogames, Mazzaglia will discuss how sometimes technology evolves faster than human creativity and how technology offers tools that wait to be used to tell stories or send messages to people in most disparate ways. Videogames are now one of the mediums that follow this rule. What are these tools and these techniques today? What powers do users have to tell their own stories? This session presents a journey through history and technology that will allow audience members to experience the new alphabet of the future.
** Additional Videogame themed presentations will include those from Harvey Parker and Scott Harber of Natural Motion Games talking about the new CSR2 autoracing game, Oscar Nominee Henry Labounta & Chief Visual Officer at Zynga, and Art Director Ben Brundenell, who creates the Dawn of Titans game
