Current Research
I am currently engaged in researching systems for the delivery and consumption of virtual art and musical performances through the XTREME project and how contemporary hybrid relic objects might be interacted with through a project titled: Hybrid Relics: Socially Embedding the Soul in Design. I'm also currently a Research Fellow, Project Manager and Studio Artist at The University of Nottingham's Virtual and Immersive Production Studio (VIP Studio), a specialist production facility to incubate innovation in film, TV and performance arts production and audience engagement. My specific area of interest resides in the creation and study of mixed reality environments comprised of our physical reality and virtual audio content in relation to the delivery and consumption of future music and audio entertainment experiences.
Past Research
My past research has explored the user experience and functional character of audio augmented realities and audio augmented objects (real-world, physical objects that have been augmented with virtual audio content). I was also a lead creative and technical developer on the LEADD:NG project, part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in partnership with Midlands Engine, University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University. The LEADD:NG project explored how immersive technologies and techniques can deliver exciting new experiences for customers, visitors and audiences by introducing local businesses and creatives to new technologies helping them to develop viable products and maximise potential and profit in a post-pandemic economy.
