News:: VR pioneer Edward Saatchi: VR films aren't the future of storytelling

As one of the founding members of Oculus Story Studio, Edward Saatchi has spent years exploring how VR can be used to make narratives more immersive. But with his latest virtual reality outfit, Fable Studio, Saatchi has come to a surprising revelation: The future of storytelling doesn't lie in VR movies. That's an odd, but interesting, stance for someone who's devoted years of his life to the potential for VR narratives. Instead of trying to mimic the experience of films through virtual reality, Saatchi believes there's even greater potential in designing realistic characters for AR and VR. Imagine a virtual companion that can learn over time, and interact with you and your family naturally.
