Birmingham Unity User Group

We’re excited to announce the launch of the brand new Birmingham Unity User Group (#BUUG) with our first event on Thursday 7th October 6pm – 8pm.

We set up this group to support the Unity community in Brum and help build meaningful connections, with the aim of bringung Brum based Unity users together to share, learn, collaborate and network.

BUUG will be a regular meet-up with special guest speakers to share their knowledge and give advice and support. These events are open to people of all levels of Unity experience – everyone is welcome!

Our first event is at BOM (Birmingham Open Media) a centre for art, technology & science dedicated to creative innovation with purpose. BOM is located in central Birmingham, less than a minute’s walk from New Street Station and the Bullring. You can find out more about this creative hub including directions at BOM

We have a brilliant lineup of guest speakers for the inaugural event including Simon Benson, founder of PlayStation VR, our friends at STEAMhouse Birmingham’s hub for innovation and our own Taran Singh.

We’re also introducing two of the brilliant students from the Niyo Enterprise XR Bootcamp who will be talking about their XR journey and attendees will be invited to bring their moves for our BUUG Beat Saber Battle.

Taran Voted Top 100 Asian Stars in UK Tech 2021

We are so proud to announce that our very own Taran Singh has been included in this years Top 100 Asian Stars in UK Tech 2021 list.

This list showcases one hundred of the most inspirational Asian people working in Britain’s tech sector and we are absolutely thrilled that Taran has been included.

Taran’s rise as one of the Midlands leading 3D/XR agency owners is inspiring. Never classed as an ‘academic learner’ at school, he left with not much more than a huge thirst for tech and gaming. This passion and his eagerness to learn skills outside of a formal classroom setting led to an interest in 3D design and immersive tech that continued to grow over the years.

Fast forward 15 years and Taran is now a recognised name in the 3D/XR industry, recently joining HOST Salford on a consultancy basis as their Head of Skills for the UK’s first Unity Centre of Excellence. He also identified a gap in the market for XR training and launched Taran3D’s training division XR Academy in early 2021, securing substantial collaborations with forward-thinking organisations such as Niyo Enterprise who support young black women into tech.

For the Top 100 Asians in Tech List 2021, we are also really pleased to learn that for the first time ever, women have topped the list, accounting for 52% of shortlisted nominees. This is absolutely fantastic news and really encouraging for the future of our industry. As a business, Taran3D as a business is fully committed to bridging the digital divide to help make immersive tech accessible for all.
