Project media

Watch on YouTubeA setting where sensitivity came first
The project explored immersive technology in palliative care, where comfort, accessibility and emotional tone mattered more than technical novelty or spectacle.
Designing around the person
The team shaped a restorative forest environment around guided meditation, spatial audio and a deliberately calm interaction model for people receiving palliative care.
Technical leadership in a human context
Through Holosphere, Spencer contributed client-facing technical and delivery leadership, helping turn the intended experience into a practical implementation appropriate to a sensitive setting.
A delivered patient experience
Forest of Serenity was delivered for use at St Giles Hospice. The project reported qualitative patient impact and a greater than 80% reduction in pain and depression; these remain reported outcomes, not medical-efficacy claims.
