GDC is nearly upon us, I can't believe it! We've got so much going on at this year's show — there will be plenty of chances for people to learn more about Unity throughout next week. I'm going to give you a rundown of where we'll be and what we'll be doing.
Come by our booth this year and get your badge swiped for a chance to win a license of Unity Pro or Unity iPhone! Our booth is 1,000 square feet (that's 2.5x larger than last year!) and it is made out of wood, yes wood, and was designed by our friends at Because We Can who are pretty notable in the San Francisco area for doing the offices of game companies like Three Rings, Backbone, and Cryptic. The booth number is 1112, but it's at the front of the expo hall so you definitely won't miss it!
The main focus of our booth is to give attendees a hands on experience. To do that we're going to have three demo machines for giving people a tour of Unity and features they can be looking forward to and we've got three demo machines to show off the just-released Unity iPhone 1.6. We'll also have lots of great Unity content that people can get their hands on including: an iPhone arcade with four iPod Touches containing the very best Unity iPhone games, a Wii playing the award winning Max and the Magic Marker, a Xbox 360 showing Interstellar Marines, a web arcade showing a variety of Unity web player games, and a FishTish multi-touch table showing off uniTUIO content.
We'll also be presenting in our booth's theater and joined by the partners from our Partner Pavilion as well as the uniTUIO guys and Autodesk.
