MILIA
2002
this year's Milia (Cannes, February 4-8) was quieter
than usual but provided interesting indications regarding
the short term future of interactive digital content
development. There were less participants (600 exhibitors
and 5000 visitors) yet those present seemed busier than
ever. Game developers, large and small, came in drove
to present their latest products and hardware, Nintendo
and Sony at the forefront, reinforcing the claim that
with the arrival of game consoles such as the Cube,
PS2 and the Xbox, the video game industry was bound
to take off. On the other hand, interactive television
providers and developers, as in 2001, made their mark
as well with several exhibitors attempting to convince
the visiting public that 2002 was finally gearing up
to be the year of ITV without frontiers and with…content.
This still remains to be seen as little has caught our
attention on the content side.
Overall, Milia
2002 seemed to drive another last nail on
a bygone era, in the field of interactive digital content,
especially with regards to the business underpinnings
of that aspect of the industry. Le roi est mort, vive
le roi !
