In San Francisco I also met up with Jim Simmons from Electronic Arts. Jim produced a great game called "Psychic Detective". In the game you play a private dick who can read the minds of people at a party. The aim is to locate valuable objects by listening in to conversations happening the other side of the room at a party. It is one of the first games to attempt to emulate with video sequences the sense of immersion and engagement found in experiences like internet relay chat. Here is me with Patricia Freidel who is an exchange student at UCLA who recently was in Australia working at the Centre for New Media Arts and Technologies, New Media Annexe. We hung out in the Marina and later ate some really nice gourmet sandwiches. Love that 1930s Golden Gate Bridge! 4
