At Xbox Entertainment Studios, Shannon Loftis tells stories using *technology that reads the movements, facial expressions, and even the heartbeat of a player to create immersive gameplay experiences*. We'll discuss how the absence of handheld controllers enables a player's individual exploration of the story, and how this is changing the relationship between creator and gamer.  Loftis' FoST Film "Game Changer: The New Art of Approachable Immersion" *takes a closer look at game design and user experience for full-body interactive technologies like the Kinect*. Questions can be submitted on Google+ or Twitter (@FoSTorg) and we'll do our best to include them in the conversation. 

Virtual Roundtables feature a *different FoST speaker every Wednesday at 12:30pm EST*, as part of the ongoing weekly series. Check out the *full line-up of speakers and topics on our website here*: http://bit.ly/1ej8gFe.
