From Immersive gaming through to immersive film and live immersive theatre. I'm curious if anyone else has seen the same trend emerging. You might be wondering what classifies as immersive entertainment. Well, its still a bit fluid but generally, we're talking about forms of media that allow the viewer/audience to engage or interact with the content in some way. Things this includes: Augmented Reality (for example Microsoft's hololens or Sulon's Cortex), Virtual Reality (for example Oculus Rift), Live Experiential Theatre (for example Punch Drunk, The Heist, Alice's Adventures Underground), Augmented Reality Gaming (campaigns like "Why so Serious" for Dark Knight Rises, "Capitol.PN" for the Hunger Games). More recently companies like Virtual Reality Co have heavy weights like Spielberg, Ridley Scott and Jerry Zucker now creating dedicated Virtual Reality Content. Love to hear your comments and thoughts on including an immersive element to the development of your projects. Still not sure what I'm talking about? Have a listen to this audio podcast session: http://bit.ly/digitaljam9 Laura Wilson of eOne Films, Lance Weiler of Columbia University and Andrew Somerville of Differencengine talk all thinks Immersive Entertainment covering immersive gaming through to immersive theatre.
Hi Tanya, Guess what you were absolutely right because I pitched my idea to an executive who loved it but said he didn't think it would work because it is expecting too much out of an audience. LOL so...

LOL sound familiar??? I don't know anything about apps but I wish I did because that walking dead app looks like exactly what I need. Its like a video game AND a TV show! Thank so much for the awesome feedback and for helping me just when I needed it.

Head on over to the Transmedia lounge if you want to find others with an interest in this area :) Glad I could help Dawn. Pidge, sorry I didn't get a chance to try and connect with you. I'm in the middle of power to the pixel then London comic con. I'll try and reach out to you after that.
How funny and unusual that I should wonder how you're doing last evening.

Hi Herman, thanks for the connection.
Hi All, I am a screenwriter who came up with a great idea for a play. I wrote it but not too sure of it as of yet since I've only read a couple of books and articles on how to write one. Can anybody recommend anymore books, online classes(I prefer those), and online resources to help me perfect my craft? Thanks, Don
Break a leg, Don!!
Hi Don, I have to recommend my own online course http://www.andymoseley.com/scriptwriting.html I think it's good! Andy
Above all else, Don, make sure that your play is CORRECTLY FORMATED! Otherwise, it will be rejected without even a glance. There are FREE templates online for formatting--be sure & use these...I'm not kidding, it's a jungle out there.
Thanks Herman.
Great to connect Herman! Team work is a great two words for sure. I'm still getting my feet wet here. I've been working the word pretty heavily.
Hey Don, I found out that the skills we all bring in here combine with the learning opportunities in here can get us to the mountain top
I've got to agree on that! As an example, I'm a newbie to scriptwriting, so it's a great way to learn from those that are experienced in it. The principle behind it is similar to writing poetry - one takes pulls much like a musician does.
Thanks Herman. What are you working on now?
