Jack Myrick

Games Designer & XR Specialist

Hi! I'm Jack, a Games Designer and XR specialist currently working for the University of Oxford. With over 5 years of hands-on experience in Unity, I've had the privilege of collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on a variety of high-end productions.

​

My passion lies in the realm of XR technologies, where I love to blend creativity and technical skills to create immersive experiences. Whether it's enabling players to soar like a bird or engage in epic battles with extraterrestrial aliens, I'm all about crafting experiences that defy the constraints of reality.

​

As I look to the future, I'm excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in virtual worlds. Whether it's games or life-changing therapies, I'm ready to bring my unique blend of skills to new challenges.
