About
I'm a developer, physicist and artist based in England. I make virtual-reality games and experiences that sit somewhere between play, music and physics, and I run Squingle Studios (Benjamin Outram Ltd.), whose current title is Squingle Arcade, free on Meta Quest.
Before games I did a DPhil in physics at Oxford, working on liquid crystals. The polarised-light photographs from that time became the book Liquid Crystals (IOP Publishing) and a music video with Max Cooper. Since then I've published research on spatial navigation and cross-sensory perception in VR, shown work at Sundance New Frontier, SIGGRAPH Asia and the Dubai International Film Festival, and shipped a long line of apps and prototypes that turn sound into colour.
I also write fiction and essays on consciousness and physics, and make Sleepy Speculations, a philosophical sleep podcast.
