A SELECTION FROM MY PORTFOLIO
SIDE PROJECT
FOREVER KNIGHT
2024
An isometric dungeon-themed endless runner for mobile and desktop. I developed it as a side project in a few months of my own time. A working proof of concept that offers different input controls, difficulty settings, and is sprinkled with sound effects, music and some visual effects.
FORMULA ONE
FUTURE TECH
2024
A large scale LED touch wall at Silverstone Museum, showcasing future technologies.
The menu screen uses a real-time 3D car, dissolve shader and Visual Effect Graph particle effect. Built with HDRP loveliness. Select a menu option to view a video about that particular technology.
HMS CAROLINE VIRTUAL BRIDGE
2024
A real-time 3D game to control and steer a WW1 light cruiser, joining and travelling with a convoy. Created with Unity’s HDRP, using the water and cloud systems, and Visual Effect Graph. The game is controlled using a physical steering wheel and telegraph speed control, which interface with the PC using Phidgets hardware.

A large scale touch screen interactive that highlights how nations within the empire contributed to the Second World War.
Rendered in HDRP, users can navigate 63 countries across 17 regions via a real-time 3D globe. There are 200+ images and videos to explore, each supported by text information and captions.
CODE BREAKER
ENIGMA
2021
A dual screen interactive designed to look and work like a real-life Enigma machine, as used by the German Army in the Second World War.
The experience is not a full simulator, but instead a guided experience that explains and then challenges the user to setup and configure the machine, and then decrypt a message.
WAR REPORTER
2021
Visitors use physical objects rather than a touch screen to make selections and build their own newspaper headline covering the evacuation of Dunkirk during the Second World War.
The choice of wording and photos for the headline allows visitors to give the story a positive or negative feeling, with 81 different combinations.

A dual screen archive provides themed access to 60+ images and videos, highlighting a range of stories from construction, D-Day, post war and salvage.
The second interactive is a narrated exploration of eight themes, each being activated by touching a physical, printed image. Phidgets hardware controls the touch input and lighting of the printed images.
PLACE STANDARD
QUESTIONNAIRE
2020
An interactive touch screen questionnaire for a touring exhibition about places, public transport, safety, local economy and recreation.
Answer 14 questions, each can be rated from one to seven stars, or 'I don't know'. When all questions are complete, a compass diagram generates a visual summary of the users responses, and compares it to an average of all other responses.

Two touch screens allow one or two players to each build a custom 500cc car in their garage. Once assembled, the car moves to the race track for a test lap to see how fast it is.
F1 CAR SAFETY
2019
A dual display installation about the safety technology in Formula 1 race cars.
Use a touch screen to rotate a 3D wireframe race car, and select points of interest to find out more. Projected on a wall in front of the touch screen, a real-time 3D race car matches rotation with the touch screen car. Selecting a point of interest moves the camera around the 3D car so it can be explored in more detail.

I developed this Android app for Battle Abbey, located on the site of the Battle of Hastings and run by English Heritage.
Designed for children and families, the app content is triggered at specific locations and rooms around the Abbey by iBeacons. Visitors are encouraged to find specific objects and artefacts in order to discover more about them, and hear their related stories.
I performed the on-site install and setup of the iBeacons, and client handover and training of 20 Android tablets.
GENGHIS: RISE OF THE MONGOL KHANS
2017
Two multi-language interactives for an international touring exhibition.
'House of Khans' offers a card-based touch screen quiz. 'The Mongol Empire' is a large-scale, four screen touch table allowing up to eight simultaneous users to explore a content-rich map of the Mongol Empire.
I led the on-site installation and client handover of the first location, at the National Military Museum in the Netherlands.
