STORYTELLING IN VIRTUAL REALITY: A LOOK AT AN EMERGING IMMERSIVE ENTERTAINMENT

As Virtual Reality technology continues to advance and the proliferation of VR content continues to rise, there is no question that this new form of storytelling is shifting the landscape of entertainment. How is VR different from established mediums like film, television, theater, and webisodes? What is the difference between Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality?
