From Memory Palaces to AI-Enhanced XR
This lecture explores the evolving field of spatial narrative design—where stories are discovered through presence, movement, and space. From Cicero’s Memory Palace to AI-driven immersive worlds, we’ll examine how storytelling becomes a participatory, co-creative experience. Immersive experiences function like labyrinths, inviting active exploration and engaging all senses. Stories unfold through discovery, agency, and play rather than linear progression.
Topics include:
- Non-linear and open-world storytelling
- Embodied, sensory-based narrative design
- Gameplay mechanics as narrative tools
- AI as co-creator, character, and adaptive dramaturg
Through case studies and practical frameworks, this session shows how spatial storytelling expands traditional forms, enabling transformative, participatory experiences.
