XR Initiative – Games & Beyond

XR Initiative’s monthly evening of games, XR and creative technology, with talks, experiments and conversation.

Dominic Shaw, who has run game jams for Mind Candy, UKIE and BuzzFeed, introduces the games industry in Brighton and Sussex, including Sussex Games, a new network connecting people and organisations in the region, and a preview of Down 2 Play 2026 on 14 November.

Tom Lawrence, software engineer and artist with a Master’s in Virtual and Augmented Reality from Goldsmiths, shares experimental game projects that take play beyond the screen and into physical spaces, and how VR and AR can create new forms of play.
