Hi I'm Harrison Forsyth, I'm an XR developer, archaeologist, and Principal Investigator at the Durham College Mixed Reality Capture (MRC) Studio.

I love my job. We placed a 3D scan of a 2600 year old Lucanian tomb in our studio. Using the Meta Quest Pro and the passthrough API. #photogrammetry #AugmentedReality #archaeology #History

Just ran real-time object detection on the Quest 3 using YOLO + Unity. No cloud, no PC—just standalone CV magic in my kitchen.

Hey archaeology people, I think I just created the best way to train students for excavation! This might just blow your mind. Mixed Reality Excavation!

Exploring ancient history with technology, creating brainwave driven visual experiences, recording motion capture sequences, creating AI conversational agents: these are just some of the research projects we do at the MRC Studio. Interested in collaborating? Drop me a line.

Today I explored Delos in Assassin's Creed Nexus VR and provided some interpretations as an Ancient Historian. See the full video here: https://t.co/hpYpuRnhF5

Thrilled to introduce my newest creation: AI-Driven Conversational Agent meets Meta Quest 3's Mixed Reality!

Really enjoying the colour passthrough on the Meta Quest 3! Back-to-back meetings are much more manageable. #MetaQuest3 #MixedReality #AugmentedReality

Doing some mocap tests with our Captury Live Markerless Mocap System at the Durham College MRC Studio. Our system uses active optic sensors and AI algorithms to capture body/hand motion. #mocap #research #AI

I have created some fully AI driven conversational agents in Unreal 5. Do you see AI digital humans impacting your field of work?

I was going to submit this scan of my vintage watch for @NVIDIAAIDev's #InstantNeRFVR contest, but chose to focus on VR environments. It goes to show that Instant NeRFs are also great for smaller objects, even when the photos are taken with a budget smartphone.

[NVIDIA AI Developer @NVIDIAAIDev]

🎉 Congratulations to the winner of our #InstantNeRFVR Contest: @arch3_d 🎉

We love the use of old photogrammetry images brought to life in NeRF and VR. Amazing to explore and learn more about an archeological site!

VR game users often struggle with navigating their environment. How can XR developers design a more natural experience and improve accessibility?

The answer is clear: add #speechrecognition and #texttospeech capabilities. #NVIDIA #speechAI https://t.co/J9PkQshghb

[Harrison Forsyth @arch3_d]

@RyanThinker Most definitely!

[Harrison Forsyth @arch3_d]

@RyanThinker I built the database for my PhD dissertation using File Maker Pro. Would definitely recommend it. And worst case scenario, all of the data can be exported to xml format if it doesn't work out.

[Harrison Forsyth @arch3_d]

This is the closest thing to an actual time machine. Watch me explore the artifacts left behind in the remains of this ancient Roman house. @NVIDIAAIDev #InstantNeRFVR

[Harrison Forsyth @arch3_d]

@NVIDIAAIDev Cleaning up image noise and artifacts has never been easier! Check out this VR NeRF of our family home. #InstantNeRFVR
