AR, XR & VR
All the ‘R’s
Hope Grows Sheba
Working closely with Proud Robinson + Partners and marine biologist experts we created SHEBA®’s first iOS app, immersing users in an unforgettable coral reef experience. Done during the pandemic when no one could see the progress made in restoration, we brought that demonstration to people’s homes (and at a fraction of the carbon impact!)
XR Prototyping
Lots of XR prototyping for variety of XR technologies for Meta, Niantic and Google. All, of course, under NDA.
Also worked with Royal Holloway & StoryFutures leading projects on low-cost performance capture tech.
Storytrails Unboxed
Rolling through towns across the nation during the scorching summer of 2022, the UK’s largest immersive storytelling experience told by local communities through a series of 16 unique AR walking trails. From Omagh to Dundee, Swansea to Slough, Lambeth to Lewisham, the public were invited to step through time and space to experience history where it happened. Building on our longstanding vision to bring AR to wider audiences and reanimate public spaces through immersive storytelling. The project was led by StoryFutures, the BFI, the filmmaker David Olusoga, the BBC, Uplands Television, ISO Design, with our collaborators, Niantic.
Gorillaz Presents Google.
Immersive experience music video directed by Fx Goby. We helped Gorillaz transform the streets of New York and London into stages for two immersive performances of ‘Skinny Ape’. Directed by Jamie Hewlett and Fx Goby, the performances were created by our real-time animation and immersive specialist teams, and powered by Google’s Geospatial API, anchoring the performance in the real world. This ambitious project (8 weeks!) is the next step in using context to be a primary ingredient in an immersive experience.
JR Reality Superblue x JR Studio
Augmented reality experience. Led by renowned artist JR and powered by Superblue, Niantic’s Lightship AR platform, and Nexus Studios’ immersive expertise, JR Reality is an interactive community-built platform that invites people to chronicle their cities in the largest participatory art project in the world.
Civilisations BBC
Augmented reality experience. I have a special soft spot for my first project that I supervised from start-to-finish. But it still holds up on its own; defining some of the fundamental AR grammars.
HotStepper Nexus Studios
One of the first location-based AR projects we’ve done, creating the first AR wayfinding app. 5+ years later we’ve been building on this with VPSes from Google, Niantic, Meta, Apple and Immersal.
Notable Women Google.
There are no women on US bank notes. There should be. This app shows you the world and how it can be - using AR to replace the illustration on any dollar in your wallet with 100 notable women.
