i am also interested in the same... and i think the following schools
have excellent courses.

Georgia Institute of Technology (Information Design Technology)

Entertainment Technology Center, Carnegie Mellon University

Rochester Institute of Technology, New York

MIT Media Lab

You might try cornell or any other ivy league colleges too, but the
whole approach becomes a bit technical. I rate ETC and MIT Media Lab
as one of the most exciting opportunites.
