Great to meet friends old and new from Irish Game Dev, demo my project Skuarewave and promote Godó Gaedhleach at EDGE26 in Galway. What an inspiring event!
Representing Godó Gaedhleach at EDGE26 in Galway in May 2026
Create Holograms With Godot @ EDUXR26 in Athlone in May
An exciting day of talks, demos and networking at EDUXR in Technological University of the Shannon on May 12th.
Showcasing at Godocon 2026
I presented a talk “Unlocking Student Creativity @ TU Dublin with Godot” at GodotCon 2026 in April 2026 in Amsterdam. I also showcased Skuarewave and other projects from TU Dublin, with my collaborator Darren Fitzpatrick. I referenced Randy Paush’s – Achieving your Childhood Dreams and quoted Terrence McKenna in my talk!
VR, Art, Psychedelics and AI
The more extreme, inventive, and avant-garde of the VR constructions are likely to resemble experiences with psychedelic plants rather than more conventionalized forms of art. The doorway to the realms of dream and the unconscious will be opened, and what had been merely symbolic representations of eccentric individual experience will become that experience itself.
– Terence McKenna
Tús Godó Gaedhleach
A great start for Godó Gaedhleach on Monday 23rd February in the Hendrick Hotel in Smithfield! Pobal Forbartha Cluichí Foinse Oscailte na hÉireann. Tús maith is leath na hoibre!
Skuarewave – Play Music With Holograms!
My latest project Skuarewave allows anyone to create beats and looping melodies with a holographic interface that the user controlls with their hands!

Trancedance: Created at the Cyberdelic Society Hackathon in C-BASE, Berlin, November, 2025
We created Trancedance – an amazing Cyberdelic Music/Art experience at the Cyberdelic Society hackathon in C-BASE, Berlin in November, 2025. Our project incorporated holographic step sequencers, reatime audio effects processed from the microphone on the Quest 3 and passed to an external speaker, dancing aliens, sound orbs playing the words of Timothy Leary, live Traditional Irish Music played on the flute and artistic projections of my brain patterns captured on EEG:
Created by an international team using Godot and Touch Designer:

Quest: SDG – @ TU Dublin 2025 Student Inductions
Announcing Quest: SDG – a unique, immersive and magical holographic experience incorporating 3D maps, sounds and interactions – where users can learn about projects and activities across Technological University Dublin that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s).
Quest: SDG will be @ inductions across five TU Dublin campuses in September 2025, for incoming TU Dublin students to experience!
The project was developed using the Free and Open Source Godot Engine, by an international team of interns led by Dr Bryan Duggan from TU Dublin Computer Science, in partnership with the TU Dublin Sustainability Office.
Quest: SDG runs on specially modified headsets that provide full 180 degree FOV, so that virtual objects appear seamless with the real world. This offers an impactful and novel means of communicating and engaging with students about the SDG’s at the leading edge of Computer Science!
