Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Immersive Storytelling… All are buzzwords that relate to technologies that few of us have truly experienced but have certainly heard about – even if it’s just Pokémon Go!
That’s why at LondonSWF this year we are embracing these bold and exciting new frontiers for storytellers.
The whole LSF team just had a fabulous demo of a narrative drama that unfolds in VR. And this is the tip of the iceberg. At the festival this year you will be able to get your hands on the kit, experience the different kinds of VR experiences evolving and speak with the developers, producers and directors. And they just told us personally they are desperate for screenwriters who want to work in this bold new format.
So let’s leave the silly VR rollercoaster style demos behind us and delve deep into the DRAMA possibilities it offers, embracing this new wave of VR drama that will be sweeping the world in the next few years.
See you in the Matrix!
