Shaun Ferns

Shaun Ferns is an academic at TU Dublin, the Technological University of Dublin, Ireland since 2002. From 2016 he has been primarily researching and teaching multimedia development and prior to that was involved in the delivery of several engineering programmes. He is currently exploring the opportunities transmedia provides in improving user experience and engagement in cultural archive artefacts and serious games for the built environment.

Shaun began to 'play' with Unity when designing and building his house in 2010, developing an architectural walkthrough to support the development of the design of the new home. Since then he has been working on several Unity-based cultural projects and hopes to complete one soon!

Since 2011 Shaun has taken up the challenge of playing the Irish tenor banjo and currently enjoys playing in Irish traditional music sessions with his friends. When not practising he can be found wandering the cliffs and mountains around Donegal or swimming on its Atlantic shores
