In this Speculations presentation, Rob Eagle (Centre for Cultural Value) questions whether adding more layers of sensory stimuli necessarily makes narrative experiences more ‘immersive’. Using examples, Rob encourages makers to consider whether additional sensory stimuli are distracting, enhancing or integral to a work.
Recorded at the Multisensory Storytelling Summit, an event hosted by UWE Bristol’s Digital Cultures Research Centre on 22nd May 2025.
