DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group is pleased to announce the tenth annual “Hedy Lamarr Achievement Award for Emerging Leaders in Entertainment Technology.” The Award (up to $10,000) recognizes a female college student in their junior year whose studies in the fields of entertainment and technology have shown exceptional promise.
Austrian-American actress Hedy Lamarr, a Hollywood legend, was also a lifelong inventor whose innovative work included pioneering “frequency hopping” which became the foundation for radio guidance which she and composer George Antheil patented in 1942, and is utilized today for a variety of cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth applications.
