Artificial: A Study and Application of Immersive Storytelling using Virtual Reality

Abstract

This project serves as a pre-production for a larger scale immersive film in virtual reality. The goal of this project is to create a film that places the audience in the point of view of the main character by using virtual reality technology. I explore how this change can affect the audience’s immersion in the film. Additionally, I examine how the use of virtual reality can help connect the audience to a character lacking emotion and empathy.
