Nigel spent over 20 years at the BBC, leading teams to produce unique digital projects including: explaining 30 years of the Northern Ireland Troubles in 3 minute motion graphics, strapping heart monitors to bikers travelling at 200 mph, bringing Titanic’s last moments to life in 3D and rebuilding a WW1 trench in Virtual Reality.

He established the original Digital Catapult Immersive Lab in Belfast in 2017 and now has a trusted network that makes him central to the NI Immersive ecosystem. Building relationships with technology partners and the XR community both in NI / UK and globally is a key strength. Looking at Creative Technologies across Advanced Media Production and the overlap with AI and Digital Twins is a main focus of his current work.
