New Experiences and Events at D.I.C.E. Summit:

In addition to the usual networking experiences at the D.I.C.E. Summit such as the annual golf, poker, and go-karting tournaments, the 2016 D.I.C.E. Summit will host a number of new opportunities to augment its attendee experience. Participants have a chance to learn and test out products in Experience Rooms (castAR, Epic Games’ Bullet Train, NVIDIA, StreamTV), duel in a Magic: The Gathering tournament, face off in a FACEIT eSports tournament, and converse and debate at our roundtable sessions.

The Experience Rooms will feature some of the newest concepts in tech:

castAR is an industry-leading mixed reality company that will offer consumers a best-in-class shared reality experience. It is a versatile 3D platform which brings new worlds, adventures and stories to life. castAR is the key that unlocks a new brand of playful entertainment, right at your tabletop.
Epic Games will give D.I.C.E. attendees the chance to dive into Bullet Train, the studio's Unreal Engine 4-powered VR demo praised for its thrilling, fast-paced interactivity. Bullet Train is an action-packed experience supporting Oculus Touch motion controls.
Golfstream is an interactive indoor premium golf gaming experience for beginners, experts and everyone in between that uses state-of-the-art AR technology engineered by rocket scientists. At the D.I.C.E. Summit Golfstream will be inviting attendees to participate in a friendly competition and play Golfstream firsthand at the nearby TaylorMade Golf Experience.
NVIDIA is enabling developers to build amazing VR content with its industry-leading GeForce GTX GPUs and GameWorks VR SDK. They will partner with developer Sólfar Studios to take attendees to the top of Mount Everest in virtual reality. Using the room-scale HTC Vive headset, one can cross the treacherous crevasses of the Khumbu Icefalls, scramble up the icy Lhotse Face, and reach the summit for a stunning view from Earth’s highest point.
StreamTV will be showcasing on their 65" glasses-free 3D TV on the game P.A.M.E.L.A., an intense and unforgiving open-world survival experience in a fallen utopian city ravaged by a horrific disease.

New to D.I.C.E. 2016 will be the inclusion of focused Roundtable Sessions.
