Real Virtuality and Immersive Storytelling

Online

Real Virtuality is the result of three components: technology, creators and participants. While immersive storytelling, a complex interwoven network of the latter coupled with humanity, is a component through which storytelling and agency occur.

But how do all these interact with one another when a fifth component from reality is added? something like a pandemic.
This webinar digs deeper into the notions of reality and virtuality and the evolution of their spectrum, trying to understand their different applications by focusing on the future of immersive storytelling and the notion of Extended Reality.
