Perspective Media: Personalised Video Storytelling for Data Engagement

An unprecedented amount of data exists about our lives, environments and the people we share them with. By empowering large numbers of people to access and interpret this data, we can transform the way we understand and make decisions about key aspects of our lives and have a greater say in how we are treated by the government and other groups.

Visual Game Analytics

Behavioural data from games are highly complex and difficult to visualise and make actionable. We're developing customisable visualisation tools for esports to help make these insights more accessible.

MutatorVR and Organic Art VR; Evolutionary Virtual Reality Worlds

Organic Art VR surrounds the viewer and places them inside strange evolving forms resembling sea anemones, ancient ammonites and multi-horned organisms with which they can interact. The forms the viewer sees are reminiscent of those one might encounter in an alternative alien evolution.
