Mike Tucker is an interactive designer and director at a company, MagicLeap, that focuses on the future of spatial computing. With his skills of audio-visual exploration, he was able to collaborate with Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood and Encyclopedia Pictura in creating Kanye West’s video game. He has also worked with Universal Everything(I have blogged about before in Looking-Outwards 05) which is a collection of designs and digital art which pertains to technology and humanities curated by a man named Matt Pyke.

Tucker has worked with various concepts and projects such as hand and eye-tracking, spatial controllers and optics. Spatial music interactivity became his next experiment when he was collaborating with Sigur Rós and MagicLeap.

Tucker states that he hopes to inspire and to enhance the minds of spatial designers all over the world by providing a new mindset of approaching technology and utilizing it to be able to design a “mixed-reality future”.
