Top SchoolAntonia Forster is a Senior XR Engineer based in the Greater Bristol Area with five years of focused experience building immersive AR/VR solutions and leading technical delivery. She blends deep Unity3D and C# expertise with hands-on knowledge of AR Foundation, HoloLens, Quest passthrough, hand- and eye-tracking, LiDAR photogrammetry and haptics to ship cross-platform XR experiences. As founder and co-creator of the world’s first LGBTQ+ VR Museum and former Senior XR Technical Specialist at Unity Technologies, she pairs product-led thinking with platform-level know-how. Her background in planetarium production and a PhD-informed scientific rigor give her a rare strength in translating complex data and research into compelling, performant visual experiences.

Antonia is equally at home mentoring teams, advising stakeholders, and pushing the boundaries of accessibility and storytelling in XR.

A virtual museum of objects (scanned with photogrammetry/LiDAR) and stories of queer people. The final aim is to produce two builds - one for VR, and one non-VR build for web (to allow people without a VR HMD to access the experience).
