As we go further down the line, there's fun things you can do with some of the AR technologies where you could imagine a screen that you could see the robots and show the kids what you're supposed to do and they go do it. I like to get involved with projects that do good in the world.
I have kids a little bit older than this target market. I kind of tell people jokingly that, as part of BioWare, we created games that you made people sit on their butt for hundreds of hours. In terms of your personal involvement, is this something that's close to your heart? And they would come up with these really interesting ideas using technology and develop them to a point where it could be a product. So how it came about is interesting in that there's a parent company called Zeroes to Heroes that I'm involved with for the past 10 years in Vancouver, even while at BioWare. What led Biba to want to explore this interactive playground space? And what led you into it? This is really the only major tech thing I'm doing these days." "I have like six or seven part-time jobs. Folks have done some smart playgrounds before, but they haven't been effective. So, it's definitely the first kind of app the concept of getting kids out and using playgrounds. We're not sure if there's anything else like it yet. Zeschuk had plenty to say about augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D printing and his "Luddite" ways. He may be out of gaming, but thanks to his industry friends posting on Facebook, he's certainly not out of the loop. It's "referee play with parents." But that's not all Zeschuk had to talk about. The premise, as Zeschuk explained it, is to create interactive games that get kids away from a sedentary experience using mobile screens and back outside playing in the real world. But he's also committed to using his influence and financial resources for more altruistic endeavors.Ĭase in point: Biba, the company he currently acts as chairperson for, has created an app for iOS that works in tandem with PlayPower's playground equipment. Zeschuk's main passion remains beer, beer and more beer. Yet, despite that apparent retirement, he was back on the show floor at GDC in San Francisco to show off Biba, one of his many part-time side projects. Greg Zeschuk, the man that co-founded BioWare and shepherded the development of now classic franchises like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, left the gaming industry for good more than two years ago.
