Michael's interests in Interactive Media extend beyond the conventional definition of “video gaming.” In addition to traditional digital games (which he loves), Michael's scholarship is in the emerging fields of transmedia storytelling, stereoscopic3D (s3D), public interactives / responsive environments, interactive data visualization and other real-world experience design (whew!). His earlier career as a theatre artist (actor, singer, director, producer) constantly informs his work as an interactive designer, no matter how much he tries to keep it out. He is also a total musical theatre and comic book geek and is IMD's go-to person for comic- and superhero-related information (DC >= Marvel).
