Adam has nearly 25 years of experience encompassing the business, legal, creative,\u00a0and technical aspects of the video game industry.

We should hear more from Adam in the near future but here is what he had to say about joining CRI Middleware:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was impressed with the CRIWARE<\/strong> tech and with CRI\u2019s commitment to providing world-class\u00a0solutions from the moment that I first met Ray Nakazato and Oshimi-san. I\u00a0knew we could be great working partners, and I\u2019m excited to have this opportunity to expand\u00a0awareness of CRI ADX2<\/strong> and CRI Sofdec2<\/strong>. The emergence of VR and AR technologies<\/strong> represents the most\u00a0significant platform shift for interactive media in decades and CRI is uniquely positioned to\u00a0provide cutting-edge solutions for audio\/video authoring and playback on both new and existing\u00a0platforms\u201d<\/p>\n
