Decoded: Careers in Immersive Storytelling

Presented as part of the Apollo Career Panel Series, Pathways to the Arts

The immersive experiences offered by Virtual Reality (VR) and related technologies are changing the landscape of performance and entertainment spaces.  This interactive panel will give the audience an opportunity to experience the world of VR and learn about the creative careers in these innovative platforms. Hear about the new spaces this technology has created, how artists are using these platforms to share their stories, and where the future of tech in entertainment may lead.
