Carlisle Castle Virtual Tour
Earlier this month I was contracted by ay-pe to develop an interactive virtual tour of Carlisle Castle, commissioned by English Heritage. Developed to run on a touch screen kiosk, the tour combines both interactive 360 degree panoramic and traditional photography, in order to explore the locations in and around the Castle.
HMS Victory – Bones of Oak and Iron
This summer has seen me working almost exclusively on a new exhibition for the National Museum of the Royal Navy. Bones of Oak and Iron tells the continuing story of HMS Victory’s conservation and restoration from the time she was built in 1759, through war and peace, to her current and future state.
In addition to working on the overall concept for the exhibition and media (including projected and audio installations), my primary role was the design, development and on-site installation of a suite of touch screen interactives.
Friendly Phantoms
After several months in development, the Friendly Phantoms interactive game for touch screen kiosk and the web is at last finished!

Silver and Swans
Last night I attended the official opening of the new Silver and Metals Gallery at The Bowes Museum.
The reception was held in the spacious Picture Gallery, although there wasn’t much room to move as more and more guests arrived to hear a presenter from the Antiques Roadshow speak and open the new Gallery.
History meets high definition
Yesterday, the renovated and refurbished Tithe Barn at St Mary’s Priory Church, Abergavenny, was opened by HRH Prince Charles, and now houses a modern, interactive exhibition area.
I developed three touch screen interactives for the Tithe Barn, which offer a combination of story-telling, 3D reconstruction and video interviews.
