Tuesday 17th February 2026 19.30
The Helen Thirza Addyman Lecture
Game technology is being used in many more storytelling arenas than just computer games. In film, TV and simulations, this technology brings new possibilities for dynamics, interactivity, responsiveness, flexibility, future-proofing and immersion.
Chris Walker, Creative Director of York studio Bright White Ltd, part of the global Keywords Studios group, shares his enthusiasm about the new horizons opening up for visitor immersion, and reveals the behind-the-scenes story of how the new introductory portal experience at JORVIK Viking Centre was created in collaboration with the JORVIK team.
You can also experience A Winter Adventure at JORVIK Viking Centre before it thaws.
If anyone in your party uses a wheelchair or mobility scooter please give us a call (01904 615505) to book so that we can discuss accessibility with you.
