Tech Tidbit/From the Internet
If we're anything alike, you sometimes fall down a youtube hole. Inspired by this article from the BBC ("Theatres tempt new audiences with virtual reality") I did a search for VR theatre, trying to figure out how I feel about it.
I came across this article that opens with "Next time you’re in a virtual reality experience, I encourage you to try and identify where the creator may want you to look — and then I want you to turn and look in the opposite direction."
I mean - ok. I've haven't been seeking out VR experiences, but I have tried to lean in to immersive theatre experiences.
I guess the questions are: How do we incorporate digital medium into an analog performance? Should we be incorporating digital medium or should theatre remain analog? Are there accessibility concerns that can be addressed with VR? Does adding VR negate a more visceral experience?
What do you think?
