Biography

Kia ora! My name is Ellie, and I love pushing the boundaries of interactive technology. I enjoy working on storytelling projects that center around identity and kaupapa, with a curiosity for knowledge and play. I have a particular interest in cinematic AR/VR, games, and physical and/or digital interactive exhibitions as well as virtual film production. My professional background is in film and television, with a special focus on factual and educational media. My academic interests include the development of 360-degree cinematic virtual reality and non-linear storytelling experiences, along with my recent research into interactive portals. Specifically, I focus on 360-degree scene transitions utilizing cutting-edge, novel techniques to enhance narrative spatial coherency in VR spaces.
