ECGC Newsletter Vol 2, Issue 2

This talk will cover how to approach creating content to build a fully immersive experience in a physical space. We are now seeing AR/VR/XR and interactives being implemented more and more in places such as museums, clothing stores, and events. So how do we create content outside of the VR headset or the tablet or even a 4k screen?  We will cover topics such as taking physical and virtual scale into consideration, handling multiple players at once, and different technology available for immersive experiences.

The job of a realization director isn’t well known across the industry. It was new to me when I took it on! A year into the job I now understand the overlap of theatrical mise-en-scene and the staging of video game cinematics in Virtual Reality. IHe will discuss specific challenges shooting in VR pose, notably honouring player autonomy while working within the systemic limitations of the game engine, and how his experience as a theatre director has helped us overcome a number of them.
