Course director of our MA in Immersive Storytelling, Mary Matheson, talks to us about the exciting immersive worlds of virtual reality and augmented reality, and how these emerging and fast-growing technologies can be used to tell stories in a way they’ve never been told before – allowing us to vividly experience different times, cultures, issues and places. She discusses her latest projects, including a collaborative piece exploring underground clubs for black people in nineteen-eighties London, as well as what impact covid-19 has had on virtual reality, and what the current drawbacks of the technology are.
