This document provides an overview of virtual reality (VR) storytelling. It discusses the speaker's background working with emerging technologies. VR is not new, having been predicted by science fiction, but what is new is the ability to experience stories from a first-person perspective by interacting with and moving through virtual environments. While VR has experienced hype cycles in the past, the technology is advancing to the point of being able to truly immerse people in experiential storytelling. The speaker's work includes VR projects with USA Today and training journalism students in VR storytelling techniques.
