Kenneth Llewellyn Demarest III is a computer game programmer, business person, and artist. As a technical innovator, he worked on Wing Commander and helped advance the state of the art in video games by developing the first 3D, texture-mapped characters ever seen in a computer game with ''BioForge''. As a Director of Technology at Origin Systems, Demarest recognized the potential for graphic massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) and developed the technical prototype for ''Ultima Online'' using ''Ultima VI'' as a code base. His later work would result in the first attempt at a persistent-world real-time strategy game, ''NetStorm: Islands At War''. In social gaming, Demarest was part of the early work blending 3D MMOs and social game play both stand-alone and on networks such as Facebook and MySpace. As an artist for Shadow Garden he wrote 'Sand', the most popular and frequently sold work on the platform developed by Zack Simpson. Sand is in the permanent collections of numerous museums world-wide including the Discovery Science Center and Sony Wonder Technology Lab. Demarest's later work supported technology that benefits humanity including MorSand, a 2006 Tech Award Laureate, and CellBazaar, a 2007 Laureate. Demarest is now a founder of Appsoma, a PaaS for scientific analysis. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ken Demarest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
