Join Joshua Rubin, Interactive Emmy-winning writer of Immersive Experiences and Video Games (Assassin’s Creed 2, Destiny, Telltale) as he explores shared techniques of Games and Immersive Theater that we will need to create the responsive, personalized XR narratives of the future. Rubin will break down essential tools, drawing links between classic Games (GTA, Portal, Last of Us) and Immersive groups, historical and contemporary (Punchdrunk, The Living Theater, Odyssey Works). Attendees will learn how to engage the audience/player in ways that blur the lines between observer and participant.
