EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Dr Sarah Jones, The Future Of Virtual Reality | Dr Sarah Jones | Modern Wisdom Podcast 110 explores immersive Storyliving, Not Storytelling: How VR Will Transform Experience Itself Dr. Sarah Jones, the first PhD in immersive storytelling, discusses how virtual and augmented reality shift narratives from 'storytelling' to 'storyliving' by placing users inside experiences rather than in front of screens. She explains why simply porting old formats into new tech (like 360 versions of TV news) fails, and argues creators must design from the experiential perspective first. The conversation covers current hardware (Oculus Quest, Vive, HoloLens), social and location-based VR experiences, and emerging use cases such as empathy-building, journalism, theater and education. They also explore ethical concerns around manipulation, harassment, privacy, and regulation as immersive tech becomes more persuasive and ubiquitous.
