Our next speaker for our latest GamesBeat event is Richard Marks, a senior research engineer at Sony Interactive Entertainment. He will talk about a variety of subjects at our GamesBeat Summit 2017: How games, sci-fi, and tech create real-world magic.

Last year, Marks spoke on “What Works in VR and What Doesn’t” at our GamesBeat 2016 event in Los Angeles. Marks is one of the pioneers of virtual reality, as he was recently running the Sony PlayStation Magic Lab that came up with the PlayStation VR technology. He also helped work on Sony’s PlayStation Move controller and the PlayStation Eye camera.
