eSports, Gold 105 & 107 - Video games can be used as a measuring tool for
the advancement of technology. We are able to look at the transformation of graphics, animation,
interaction, servers, hardware, coding sequences, and many other aspects required for the
livelihood of a single game. These aspects of the videogame industry then combine with business
which then lead to the creation and sustainment of esports. As a multi-billion dollar industry,
esports has continued to open the gates as a crossover for competition and technology. We will
discuss the overall health, longevity, and opportunities within the world of esports as well
as pathways to achieve them. There will be some interactivity with some of the competition
machines we have in the lab as well as some demonstrations with different games and hand-eye
coordination tests.
