That's Cool, Now What? How to Tell Stories in Virtual Reality
One hundred and twenty creative leaders in VR, video games, TV, movies, theater and traditional entertainment gathered to discuss the emerging language of VR storytelling.
Following two sessions of presentations and group discussions, the participants broke into five moderated working groups. The working groups discussed what approaches carry over from other artistic media and what issues, approaches, and concerns are new to the VR environment.
VR experience demos were provided by Samsung Electronics America, Jaunt, Assimilate, Emblematic, Funktronics Labs, InnerSpace VR, Metaverse Systems, Nurulize, Otherworld Interactive, Reel FX, VRSE, VisiSonics, and WEVR.
