The LBX Show #43 - Guest Gab with Rob Morgan, Arcade News, and more!
Description
Sponsored by Intercard!
On this week's show Brandon and Kevin join Rob Morgan, author of "Storytelling for Spatial Computing and Mixed Reality: The Art of Augmenting Imagination" and lead narrative designer at Wake the Tiger in London for a Guest Gab segment exploring the art of storytelling and spatial computing.
• Shifting from VR to AR storytelling and focusing on how AR makes players the protagonist
• Defining the differences between VR, AR, and MR, while acknowledging that exact definitions matter less than the audience experience
• Analysis of consumer VR market trends, including Sony's PSVR2 and Meta Quest adoption
• The value of location-based shared VR/MR experiences for entertainment venues
• Moving from consumer entertainment to location-based entertainment requires higher standards and more flexibility
• Creating stories where players see themselves in the narrative rather than controlling an avatar
• The challenge of maintaining audience engagement by giving them agency and freedom within the experience
• Drawing inspiration from immersive theater and role-playing to create more compelling spatial experiences
