borabora studios, a Cologne and Barcelona-based creative technology studio, has announced the launch of a new London studio led by experienced virtual production supervisor and creative technologist, Spencer Chase.
As head of studio and director of creative technology at BoraBora Interactive (UK), Chase will work alongside the company's founder, Florian Woegerer, and brings over nine years of experience across immersive spaces, film, television, and live entertainment.
The new location builds on an existing portfolio of projects in the UK, including work with Snap Inc. and Outernet London.
Driving high-impact experiential installations
Chase began his career in 3D architectural visualisation before transitioning to real-time environments, developing early AR previsualisation tools in Unreal Engine.
This expertise carried him into film and TV, from real-time previsualisation on Masters of the Air to full virtual production supervision on major productions such as Silo, House of the Dragon, Black Doves, and Down Cemetery Road.
Most recently, Chase led client-side virtual production strategy and on-set delivery for HIJACK Season 2 (Apple TV+).
In addition to his film work, Chase remains deeply involved in large-scale live events, handling complex real-time graphics programming for Valorant Champions and deploying media server infrastructure for Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour in Australia and New Zealand.
He has previously collaborated with borabora on several projects, including the interactive systems for Atlantis Dubai’s Lost Chambers.
As head of borabora in the UK, his cross-sector mix of real-time 3D, media servers, and custom hardware will power the creation of reliable, high-impact experiential installations and visitor attractions worldwide.
Earlier this year, borabora studios announced Forest of Time, a large-scale, multi-user interactive experience at Happitat, a new happiness-driven space in Bangkok, Thailand, that brings together architecture, nature, hospitality, and digital experiences to create meaningful, memorable shared moments.
Forest of Time is a large-scale digital display that evolves into a dynamic, interactive ecosystem. Using their smartphones, visitors help to restore a lost ecosystem, awaken Ancient Guardians, and uncover endangered and extinct Southeast Asian wildlife.
