The panel will explore the potential of VR and XR in telling bold new entertainment stories, particularly focusing on how VR (currently in the hands of gamers), will become mass media entertainment to rival film, tv and theatre. We'll look at new technologies unique to VR/XR have the potential to propel the medium forward and how big IP's and properties can benefit from this.
