Watched a fantastic talk from Marina Warner about gender, fairy tales as a promise between women & the domain of pain; stories as a place that you dwell. She touches on the power of play & imagination as a way of thinking.
Many implications for the uses of VR storytelling.

An old video from Sundance 2016; not folklore/heritage. But a very good example of building empathy with #ImmersiveStorytelling in #VR & #360video. Topical right now.

In case you didn’t see it at the time, I created a video of the full #Gawain and the #GreenKnight #XR experience we developed for the #SpiritsOfPlace Symposium at the Williamson Art Gallery and #Museum (Wirral, UK).

It was a fun experimental project to work on! 😄
