Dr. Michael Capps Joins The ITA Advisory Board

Dr. Michael Capps, Former President, Epic Games

“I’m excited about an open, ubiquitous social metaverse. Getting there means solving a whole lot of interesting problems through long-term cooperative efforts. I’m delighted to help an organization like The ITA that’s focused not on a single company’s success, but on the success of the entire industry and ecosystem.” – Dr. Michael Capps

Now THIS is a welcome vote of confidence. For those unfamiliar, Dr. Michael Capps was President of Epic Games for ten years, and was leading the charge when they released some of their most reputable IP including Gears of War, Unreal, and Infinity Blade. To top it off, he has a Ph.D. in Virtual Reality, and has been a lead game designer and writer, a comic author, and currently features in Discovery and Science Channel series NASA’s Unexplained Files, What on Earth, and Combat Countdown.

The Immersive Technology Alliance and its growing membership (more to announce soon!) are lucky to have him as well as the other tenured members of our leadership team.

I think he was ultimately sold when I shared this brief sample of an ITA meeting (seriously):

Everyone is very excited to have Mike involved! I really think 2016 is going to be a great year for VR.
