Jane McGonigal joins Institute for the Future

Mcgonig

I'm thrilled to report that BB pal and pervasive gaming pioneer Jane McGonigal has joined Institute for the Future as a research affiliate, the same position I hold there. Earlier this year, Jane was named as one of Technology Review magazine's prestigious "Young Innovators Under 35." (Previous BB posts about Jane here.) She'll be working on a variety of IFTF research projects and expanding our efforts to design "experiences from the future" that help make our forecasts more tangible to clients. As an affiliate, Jane will also continue her other work teaching, lecturing, and developing games with 42 Entertainment. Welcome to IFTF, Jane!
