Q: Video gaming is a big established industry which can share some of the same tech. Why is video gaming not listed above?

A: Fundamentally, it could be. Above I was thinking about & emphasizing
i. new developments
ii. networking that uses the data/bandwidth light “IC” interface
iii. User driven rather than auteur driven program content

De-emphasize any of those & video gaming belongs. I’m particularly interested in expanding the social networking & creative team playing aspects of video gaming. Those directions tend to be less auteur driven & benefit from being able to pick it up & put down casual connections in more places, at least for organizing the less intense events around high data/bandwidth battles.

Re: IC presentations/communications with timing & multi-modal effects.

Something like SMIL 2.1 can be used at a high level – at least to show what other people thought they might want to spec (too baroque as a std…)

Inside of it, the actual quality of the implementation of gestures & co-articulation affects is key.
