Partnerships
Collaborative Working
The Xenodu platform has been developed through a multi-disciplinary network of expertise which has helped design, evaluate and implement our technologies for use in a range of personal and social development, communication skills learning and psychological therapy applications.
This has involved ongoing research and development partnerships with numerous organisations ranging from universities, schools and colleges to BBC regions, NHS Trusts (National Health Service, UK), local authorities and central government.
We are actively looking for new partners to help further develop our innovative platform and are particularly interested in hearing from potential collaborators in the health and learning sectors that share our vision for the use of immersive media technologies for socially beneficial purposes.
As part of our approach to collaborative working we offer specialist consultancy and support services for the development and implementation of bespoke applications using our platform.
Since the Xenodu platform is highly versatile it can be incorporated into various sizes of spaces and can be customised to feature content for any subject imaginable.
Whilst offering a more natural and unencumbered way of experiencing immersive media, our platform enables both group interactions as well as individual user-interactions with challenging scenarios under precisely controlled conditions.
With the advantage of portability our platform can be easily transported and set-up in any location or configured as a fixed installation for regular use.

Blue Screen Productions
The Xenodu platform is unique in that it features virtual characters, created by filming actors in a blue screen studio, rather than using computer-generated avatars, in order to fully capture the subtle nuances of body language and communication.
Being experienced in the set-up and use of studio facilities we can collaborate with you on either small-scale or large-scale productions for the development of a diverse range of virtual scenarios. Through our specialist blue screen production process we can cater for complex virtual setups with multiple actors, carefully directed to achieve a highly optimised, cost-effective workflow. |
Our blue screen productions fully utilise the technical advantages of studio setups such as control of lighting and sound, teleprompting and live pre-visualisation of actors in the virtual environments to achieve precise continuity.
We have access to a large pool of trained actors nationwide with experience in studio production work and role-play. We work in close collaboration with our partners on the co-production of highly specialised scripts that feature advanced interactivity with 'choose-your-own-adventure' type narratives and authentic virtual characters with believable personalities based on real-world scenarios. |

Virtual Environments Design
The process of designing our virtual environments for bespoke applications can involve either the filming of real-life environments or development of 3D computer-generated environments.
The creation of 3D computer-generated virtual environments has the advantage of visualising locations which are perhaps too difficult to film with a video camera and can also offer fine control over any element in the environment.
Alternatively, filming real-life environments has the advantage of providing more detailed and realistic ambiences, particularly when visualising complex social settings. This approach can also be significantly more cost-effective due to the reduced development times involved.
Some examples of our use of 3D computer-generated virtual environments have included simulating the London Olympic Stadium and Velodrome well before these facilities were constructed or for the visualisation of historical architecture for heritage projects.
For the development of virtual environments to assist the NHS (National Health Service, UK) in the treatment of social anxiety, filming real-life environments in busy social settings proved to be more suitable.
Filming at different locations and at different times of day enabled simulated social experiences with various intensities and scene ambience to be introduced gradually to patients under a therapist's guidance without ever leaving the safety of the clinic.
