Virtual Worlds for Kids at Engage Expo 2010 - Toys Games and Technology

Do you follow virtual worlds for kids? If so, you might be interested in the latest trends in this space. Who are the leading players? What's working and what's not with these worlds? What growth can we expect in the next few years?

This presentation, delivered by Scott Traylor at the Engage Expo - Toys, Games & Technology conference in Santa Clara, CA on September 23, originally contained three components: 1.) insights about digital play online, 2.) an overview of the virtual world space for kids, and 3.) thoughts about the growing trend with "battling products" for tween boys online. This video clip only includes the virtual world section of the presentation.

Here's the conference description of this presentation:

Digital Engagement and the Evolution of Play
Products kids play with today have changed more in the last five years than in the last century. Tradition toys and games will always hold a special place in a child's toy box, but how is the digital revolution changing the nature of play? Where is the toy industry headed? Is the future of play for kids wrapped up in virtual worlds? Are web-connected devices the key to success? How about mobile or augmented reality products? Come learn about the latest crop of technology products you'll see on store shelves later this year, and take a look into the digital possibilities of tomorrow's playthings.
