Douglas Adams
Sessions: Living In a Virtual World
Douglas Adams (<URL:http://www.douglasadams.com>) was born
in Cambridge in March 1952, educated at Brentwood
School, Essex and St John's College, Cambridge where, in
1974 he gained a BA (and later an MA) in English
literature. He is the creator of all the various
manifestations of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,' which
started life as a BBC Radio 4 series in March 1978. Since
then it has been transformed into a series of
best-selling novels, a TV series, a record album, a computer
game and several stage adaptations. It is currently under
development as a major motion picture in Hollywood.
'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's
phenomenal success sent the book straight to Number One in the
UK Bestseller List and in 1984 Douglas Adams became the
youngest author to be awarded a Golden Pan. He won a
further two (a rare feat), and was nominated - though
not selected - for the first Best of Young British
Novelists awards. He followed this success with 'The
Restaurant at the End of the Universe' (1980); 'Life,
The Universe and Everything' (1982); 'So Long and
Thanks for all the Fish' (1984); and 'Mostly Harmless'
(1992). The first two books in the Hitchhiker series were
adapted into a 6 part television series, which was an
immediate success when first aired in 1982. Other
publications include 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency'
(1987) and 'Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul' (1988). In
1984 Douglas teamed up with John Lloyd and wrote 'The
Meaning of Liff' and after a huge success 'The Deeper
Meaning of Liff' followed this in 1990). One of Douglas's
personal favourites was written in 1990 when he teamed
up with zoologist Mark Carwardine and wrote 'Last
Chance to See' - an account of a world-wide search for rare
and endangered species of animals. He has
sold over 15 million books in the UK, the US and
Australia. He is also a best seller in German, Swedish and many
other languages. Douglas is a founding
director of h2g2 Ltd, formerly The Digital Village, a digital
media and Internet company with which he created the
1998 CD-ROM Starship Titanic, a Codie Award-winning
(1999) and BAFTA-nominated (1998) adventure game.
h2g2 is currently building an online Guide
(www.h2g2.com) - the Earth Edition of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy,' offering unconventional wisdom to a growing
global community. His assistant, Sophie Astin,

Jaron Lanier
Sessions: Keynote by Jaron Lanier
Jaron Lanier is a computer scientist, composer, visual
artist, and author.
Lanier's name is often associated with Virtual Reality
research. Indeed, he did coin the term ‘Virtual
Reality’ and in the early 1980s founded VPL Research, the
first company to sell VR products. In the late 1980s he
lead the team that developed the first implementations
of multi-person virtual worlds using head mounted
displays, for both local and wide area networks, as well as
the first "avatars", or representations of users within
such systems. While at VPL, he co-developed the first
implementations of virtual reality applications in
surgical simulation, vehicle interior prototyping, virtual
sets for television production, and assorted other
areas. He led the team that developed the first widely used
software platform architecture for immersive virtual
reality applications. Sun Microsystems acquired VPL’s
seminal portfolio of patents related to Virtual Reality
and networked 3D graphics in 1999.
Since then, he has collaborated broadly with
researchers in machine vision, computational neuroscience, cell
biology modeling, and other disciplines defining the
border between human cognition and the rest of the world.
One major recent investigation, into what he has
dubbed “Phenotropics”, concerns rejecting traditional
protocol-based approaches in favor of statistical and
pattern-recognition techniques to bind software components
together in order to improve large scale reliability. A
non-technical introduction to this work is found in the
chapter he contributed to the 2002 book “The Next
Fifty Years; Science in the Twenty First Century,” edited
by John Brockman.
