Technologist at PlayFrame

About

As the founder of PlayFrame, I am a freelance technologist, specialising in VR technology and tabletop experiences. My work could include filming a 360 VR video of a tourist hot spot for residents in a care home, photogrammetry scanning real-world clay models to import in a virtual experience, or devising an international tabletop roleplaying exchange program between teenagers in Wales and Bavaria, Germany. The PlayFrame brand is about providing tactile and analogue interactive technology and experiences that can be innovative, broad in scope and aim, and reach new audiences. "Framing Play" for everyone.

A professional creative and workshop leader, I have built and run content in partnership with organisations big and small. I'm keen to collaborate with other creatives interested in these fields.

It can be difficult to find organisations or individuals who are able to work well with and adapt to our autistic children and young people but Tom has shown an excellent grasp of the issues that they can present with. His approach when working with them has always demonstrated empathy and professionalism and as a branch we are very glad to have found him and his business. The sessions help our young people to practice communication, social interaction skills, coordination etc while taking part in an activity that they really enjoy.
