Immersive experiences often take the form of augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), or virtual reality (VR) delivered via a headset, combined with a more traditional theatre performance.
VR is often best known by its headset, which allows viewers to explore digital worlds rendered in real-time.
AR combines the digital and real world, often using a headset or mobile device to add details into the user’s view.
MR is more tactile, using objects in the real world in tandem with the user’s view of a digital world to create a physically engaging experience.
The combination of both digital and physical stimulus is intended to engage audience members more directly and give them the feeling that they are part of the story.
