Portfolio

 

   

I'm a human factors generalist with a number of convergent interests that include artificial intelligence, mobile situation awareness, mirror worlds, attention, pervasive gaming, unified profiles, augmented social networks, human information processing, compressed language, living timelines, relationship management, decision management, simulations, predictive displays and auto-animated stories.

My primary focus since late 2000 has been simplifying the design of an integrated information and communication tool / environment and service designed to help people better visualize, understand, manage and change what's going on around them.

The "Vision" and "fatbubble" areas below are password protected. I would be happy to present these works to you in person under NDA.

If you are interested in a meeting, or if we've met and I invited you to view these areas, please send an email reminding me who you are, what you do, for who and how we might work together.

With thanks. Michael.
