Immersive Storytelling Technologies

The focal point of Creative and Storytelling is to understand how digital visual narratives can reinvent the way we tell stories and creative interactive experiences through new technologies (augmented reality) for many different people.

Under the program item Immersive Storytelling, guests were introduced how the use the latest technologies such as 3D games, VR and AR can create a convincing sense of presence and encourage the audience to actively participate in a story instead of being passive observers. Immersive storytelling finds its way into new arenas and has a massive artistic and commercial potential. This potential was unfolded with speakers such as Michelle and Uri Kranot (winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Immersive VR work at the Venice Biennale 2020), Lars Villumsen, former Bestseller and Heidi Svane Pedersen, Lifestyle and Design Cluster. More speakers are added on an ongoing basis.
