IMMERSIVE AUDIENCES

Welcome to our Themed Section on immersive audiences. Curated by Matthew Freeman, the content on this page emerges from the Narrative & Emerging Technologies Group shared across Bath Spa University's Centre for Media Research and Centre for Cultural and Creative Industries.

 

The aim of this Themed Section is to document emerging thinking around the potential of emerging technologies to develop new forms of experiential storytelling and audience engagement, from digital fiction, audio and performance through to film, games and immersive media technologies. Through video recordings, podcasts and blogs, we aim to push forward forward understandings of audiences within the contexts of VR, AR and immersive or participatory performance, including questions such as the ethics of technology, issues around gender, embodiment and cultural bias.
