Immersive Experiences and Storytelling

A compelling immersive experience transports the user to a place that is viscerally felt, not easily forgotten, yet completely synthetic. Moreover, immersive storytelling comes with very specific requirements and needs to take the role of the avatar(s) as well as interacting non-player characters into account. This requires subtle interplay between the technological and creative arts. Topics include papers that present working systems or ongoing research into the delicate balance between these disciplines.
