John S. Johnson & Alexis Wichowski : "The media we use to tell stories has evolved considerably in the millennia since our ancestors swapped their first campfire tales. Regardless of the form stories take, the storyteller always has the same goal: to transport an audience — get people to stop thinking about the here and now and focus on the world of the story."

Pete Sena: "At its core, VR is the ultimate manifestation of the collision between our physical and digital worlds. But the digital technology must be advanced enough that it is able to trick the human mind — a pretty intelligent computer that can detect the slightest delta from how we perceive our physical world and cause the entire digital reality to fall apart."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Noah J. Nelson: "Virtual reality is still pretty much uncharted territory. The maps that we do have, limited as they are, come from other disciplines. Film and games are the two mediums that are most commonly evoked when talking about VR, and we will likely maintain that status for some time."

great artcile that not only provide insghts on the VR storytelling issue but also expand to Catmull's views on innovation and what makes Pixar's way of creating world so powerful: “You have to go out and find something you didn’t know about – and, in doing that, it transforms people.”

Games allow us to explore uncharted worlds, enhance our own creativity and help us understand and solve complex problems in ways we never thought possible. Next-generation gaming experiences should keep these core ideals alive. If all else fails, games should ultimately just be fun, right?

The article explore the differences between the two "mediums". Stressing the fact that "VR’s biggest strength is also its greatest weakness. The immersive nature of VR hinders users from interacting with their surroundings. [It] has already started to revolutionize the way we watch content, but will never be the technology we turn to in our everyday lives."
Whereas AR brings layers of info on our daily lives, the tech has not delivered yet due to the issue of visualization. But "Microsoft is working on HoloLens AR headset glasses. Developer kits are scheduled to hit the market in early 2016. Google invested in a company called Magic Leap, whose technology beams lasers into the viewer’s iris to activate AR. That future will become a reality in another year’s time."

This article provides a good intro to the difference between AR and VR. Expect to see some big changes in both areas, with AR in particular, affecting organisations. #immersivelearning
