lay3d Immersive
Developer in Edinburgh, UK

Hello. I develop web and application solutions. Specialising in immersive Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality experiences. I help agencies, start-ups and businesses with digital services for their success. Edinburgh UK based, freelance, remote worldwide.

About.

Former co-founder of Gamevial Games with seventeen years in games and interactive development. During this time I helped build custom content for a variety of blue chip and media clients. In addition we built and published games in-house that amazingly-luckily-humblingly reached millions players worldwide, thank you people 🙏.

Available for freelance projects or contract work. I am keen to collaborate on innovative projects that challenge creative limits. Leveraging the latest technologies, I aim to engage, educate or entertain through connected and shared experiences.

When not at key I can be found cooking in the wilderness or designing cookware for fire.

Lara - NAZVR

quest

What a joy to work with super xr artist Lara or her NAZVR project. A multi-sensory live performance of traditional healing practice from the Levant. The shared VR experience putting full body characters into deep immersive roles of Healer and Patient. Building out realtime interactive component tooling to allow Lara to fully create, explore and deliver this mystical VR feast. A most enjoyable project and great to get back into Photon for the multiplayer aspects of live perfomance roleplay.

Butterflyverse

The Butterflyverse is a new iteration of the Butterfly Game experience. A multiplayer butterfly simulator I built where players can paint and share wing art. Leaning into modern XR technologies; playable anywhere, single codebase, community driven, art sharing and with a nod to mindfulness. By introducing more species and habitats I hope this title can help raise awareness of butterflies worldwide and their habitats.

The world needs more 🦋 🦋 🦋 and connection.
