Here are some of the Lancaster University projects we are currently working on and will soon be available to you...
Personas AI creates a space where users can invite in a diverse set of synthetic perspectives—imagined experts, stakeholders, or even critical voices—to help test ideas or surface blind spots. For nonprofits and small teams that often operate without access to broad advisory networks, this kind of simulated dialogue can support more robust planning, communication, and innovation.

Lakeside Aurora is an immersive VR experience developed in collaboration with Professor Jim Wild from the Department of Physics. It brings to life the science behind the Northern Lights, allowing users to step into a beautifully simulated aurora over Windermere. Rooted in real space weather research, Lakeside Aurora transforms complex physics into an engaging, awe-inspiring journey — blending science, storytelling, and cutting-edge digital innovation
This October we took part in Lancaster Music Festival. Powered by collaboration with Lancaster University's finest minds, we worked on a set of VR experiences that captivated, educated, and inspired. Our experiences ranged from an upgraded imagination cave to experiencing life with cochlear implants and even noises heard from the womb!
A dedicated platform for students at Lancaster University to submit and showcase their research projects. While only Lancaster undergraduates can submit their work, everyone is welcome to view the projects, fostering community engagement and celebrating the innovative ideas of our talented students.
Ideas Wall is a feature designed to put the users creative minds at the forefront. It allows both us and you to create different walls based on different topics to get the next brilliant ideas and innovations for them.
