    In the first episode of our new season we dive deep into the intriguing worlds of augmented and virtual reality with Rob Morgan, a spatial storyteller and immersive designer/writer. Join us as we explore how storytelling transforms user experiences in immersive environments, challenging the conventional notions of realism and emotional engagement.   Rob shares his journey through the evolution of VR, from early experiments to the creation of captivating experiences like Fisherman's Tale. We discuss the importance of narrative in making virtual worlds feel authentic and the role of player agency in storytelling   As we navigate the complexities of merging real and virtual experiences, we address the ethical implications of augmented realities and the potential impact on society. Can technology enhance empathy, or does it risk deepening societal divides?   🎙️Guest: Rob Morgan is a pioneering spatial storyteller working across XR, immersive theatre and location-based entertainment.
