Harry Willmott is an interdisciplinary Immersive Maker. In 2023 Harry was one of Watershed Fellows in Residence as part of the MyWorld Ideas programme. He spent six months in residency with Zero Point Motion focusing on designing and conducting Playtests using VR enriched with finger tracking and physiological monitoring, to understand how these features impact the user’s presence and immersion in the experience. For this Lunchtime talk, Harry will speak about his experience and findings from his Fellowship.

Join us online on YouTube Live, or in the building on Friday 10th May 2024 at 1pm for the talk and to take part in the Q and A discussion afterwards. 

The Pervasive Media Studio is a partnership between the Watershed, University of the West of England and University of Bristol. The lunchtime talks are partly supported by MyWorld, a project led by the University of Bristol to support creative industries in the region. Watershed is supported by Arts Council England.
