I research applications for immersive visualisation and experimental digital technologies to the preservation and interpretation of important cultural heritage sites, collections and museums. I'm interested in how we can use new media platforms to create new, embodied sensory experiences that allow us to understand heritage in innovative ways. I'm also interested in the mechanics of immersive design.

My background is in art history and museums, and I work closely with the GLAM sector on digital conservation, exhibition design and interaction design projects.听My 2018 exhibition听Henry VR at the AGNSW was the Gallery鈥檚 first virtual reality and conservation science exhibition, which used VR听technologies to not only communicate complicated scientific data to large audiences, but to enable conservators to听analyse and interpret cultural material in new ways.听Similarly, my 2017听exhibition Sidney Nolan鈥檚 Ned Kelly Unmasked: Virtual Reality allowed Heide Museum of Modern Art to听communicate the social history of the Heide site and the significance of Nolan鈥檚 practice to Australian identity and听mythology through the experimental installation.

At 国民彩票 my research practice is based at the iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research, one of the world's leading 3D visualisation laboratories and a focal point for 国民彩票 Art & Design's research strengths in immersive visualisation. At iCinema听I am the resident 3D artist, overseeing visual and interactive content for immersive applications.听I am also director of the Ultra High Resolution Scanning Lab, which is part of the cross-faculty听Design Next initiative.听
