The World is becoming a game – Darren Jobling – ZEROLIGHT

For decades, the gaming industry was dismissed as “trivial” But while the industrial world was focused on static blueprints and heavy PLM systems, game developers were forced to solve the hardest problems in computing: real-time physics, massive multi-user environments, and extreme graphical efficiency on consumer hardware.

Today, the walls between “Virtual” and “Physical” are collapsing. Whether it’s a digital twin of a factory, a real-time car configurator, or AI-driven simulation, the tools and methodologies born in the games industry are now the gold standard for enterprise innovation.
