10-11 MAY 2023 | OLYMPIA LONDON
Bringing the sector together. FREE for everyone, everywhere.
Professor Will Saunders, Royal Holloway University Creative Lead, StoryTrails
In 2022 over 1.5 million people encountered StoryTrails. It was the UK’s largest immersive storytelling project to date with 50 new creatives at the helm, generating over 7000 scans, 400 different stories and 13 hours of original content. Now is the time to share the highs, lows and near misses and ask, what on earth were we thinking?
Speaker: Professor Will Saunders, Chief Creative Officer StoryFutures, Royal Holloway University Creative Lead, StoryTrails
StoryTrails is a deep dive into our collective history – a magical VR and AR immersion into the hidden histories that have shaped 15 UK towns and cities. This immersive experience was completely free and aimed at reaching diverse and curious audiences of all ages who might not have experienced immersive storytelling before. It was designed for Unboxed, a major festival of creativity across the UK in 2022 and was one of ten STEAM projects selected from over 300. It brought together partners including Royal Holloway University and The National Film and Television school’s national centre for immersive storytelling, StoryFutures, the BFI, the BBC, historian and broadcaster David Olusoga, Nexus Studios, ISO Design, Niantic, Produce UK, and The Reading Agency. We set out to tell the stories of under-represented communities in 15 different towns and cities across the UK through AR, VR and the very latest in immersive storytelling showcased through their local library. Crucially those stories would be told by fifty emerging creatives who were either from or had strong ties to those places and who represented groups of people under-represented across the UK’s creative industries.
