Molding IP Into Cinematic Experiences For Virtual Reality

Mar 10, 2025

11:30am – 12:30pm CT

What constitutes a “good” story may vary from one medium to the next, but it can be an entirely different beast when the viewer becomes an active participant in the narrative. Join a panel of industry experts to discuss how they elevate the adaptation of licensed IPs or the creation of original content into cinematic adventures only achievable within virtual reality. Panelists will delve into how intentional approaches to game design, such as environments, worldbuilding, and level design, are key to delivering memorable and thrilling experiences that make players forget they’re in a headset.
