Digital media is an umbrella term for my research interests. My specific interests encompass entertainment computing, interactive multimedia and science education. I am interested in investigating mathematical description of human motion and expression which can be applied to 3D animation. I am also interested in interactive multimedia and stereoscopic viewing and their application to learning, computer games, and to live performance, such as dance. Digital media is a new and interdisciplinary subject. There are at least two challenges in teaching digital media: (i) students comes from various background and disciplines, (ii) various software application tools and their ever-changing versions. The approach of the digital media curriculum development project¹ targets these two challenges. My collaboration with a dance company in two dance performance has allowed me to experiment with stereoscopic animation and interactive multimedia in live performance.²
