EON Reality Hosts Biopolitics of Popular Culture Seminar on December 4, 2009

IRVINE, Calif., December 4, 2009 – EON Reality, Inc., the world's leading interactive 3D software provider, hosts the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies’ Biopolitics of Popular Culture Seminar on December 4, 2009 at the Headquarters in Irvine, CA

Most of our transcendent expectations for technology come from pop culture, and the most common objections to emerging technologies come from science fiction and horror, from Frankenstein and Brave New World to Gattaca and the Terminator. Will popular culture, social networking and virtual reality merge into an augmented reality that make us live a life of participative fiction?

The IEET’s mission is to be a center for voices arguing for a responsible, constructive, ethical approach to the most powerful emerging technologies. During this daylong seminar IEET will engage with culture critics, artists, writers, and filmmakers to explore the biopolitics that are implicit in depictions of emerging technology in literature, film and television.

The event is held at EON Reality’s new, state-of-the-art, 18,500-square-foot facility built to showcase 3D visual content management and virtual reality applications. The facility hosts the world’s largest immersive virtual conference room that augments 3D and tele presence, and EON’s augmented reality system that overlays physical information to provide real time 3D guidance & explanation in a mobile, webbed, sensor connected environment.
