Among other projects, in partnership with filmmaker Arthur Earnest he created a series of documentary-style 360 films for the NC Museum of Art. In 2016, Mike partnered with Derek Alan Rowe from WildEyesVR to develop a series of science-based VR field trips for kids of all ages. One of the films produced, BugVR, was exhibited at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences BugFest event which was attended by over 35,000 visitors. He has hosted VR-based exhibits for thousands of attendees during events like BugFest, Ansel Adams Masterworks, NC Museum of Art's Educators Expo and a range of STEM Expos for K-12 education.
