James Dalby

Senior Lecturer in Digital Media

How do we prepare students for an ever-changing Digital Media industry - and for the jobs of the future - while remaining world-leaders in traditional communications? That's one of the most exciting things about what I do!

Biography

My field is the immersive industries; from a background in film cinematography, I’m now a VR-experience producer and a Transmedia architect, and as an academic I have published and spoken around the world about these fascinating new industries.

I’m incredibly proud of the fast-moving and adaptive course that we have developed here at UoG, where we use innovative and ground-breaking teaching workflows to prepare students for the industries of today, and the workplace of tomorrow!

Teaching & Research

Research

My main research focus is in Immersive and Transmedia storytelling, connected devices and emergent media, including Virtual and Augmented Reality. I have spoken about this at conferences around the world, published a number of papers and book chapters (including a current book project due for publication soon) and am occasionally asked to speak on platforms such as BBC radio. I am also fascinated by developing innovative and contemporary teaching methods.
