Animorph Digital Worker Co-op graduated from Cambridge Social Ventures in September 2019.
Idea
Animorph is an immersive media workers’ co-operative specialising in augmented and virtual reality. We collaboratively conceive, develop and deploy applications for both smartphone-based and standalone wearables. We have been trailblazing the emerging mediums with companies and institutions such as the Southbank Centre, Halo Post and the Open University, as well as engaging in independent, community-driven projects.
Animorph has been developing cutting-edge prototypes addressing mental conditions and sensory deficiencies. Our research is rooted in neuroscience and aims to develop multifunctional ecosystems for the next computing platform.

Impact
Animorph is a business venture but equally a vehicle for social good. We share the belief that immersive technology will have a profound impact on humanity and we dedicate our efforts to positively influencing this trajectory.
The field is largely dominated by corporate giants that do not necessarily prioritise social values. This gives us all the more conviction to ensure sustainable, meaningful and emotionally beneficial development of the emerging mediums.
We partner with research institutions to solve long-standing medical challenges that could not have been solved with the previously available technology. We want to tap into hidden human potential, minimise cumbersome interactions with the technology in our everyday lives and expose us to what is truly important.
Get in touch
Animorph is looking forward to connecting with more people and entities with immediate as well as long-term challenges, who want to carve innovative paths into the future. We are also eager to meet other visionaries, researchers trying to solve intricate problems, developers and engineers curious of reinventing their practices.
