Abstract

Technology tools continue to contribute to the digital story formats, and in today's world, multiple modes of communication are used to deliver narratives. Digital storytelling engages an audience by means of computer-based tools to share a message. Through the use of digital technologies like virtual reality (VR), digital stories have evolved to include the concept of immersive storytelling. VR utilizes interactive 360-degree images designed to immerse the user in a virtual environment. Immersive stories provide the storyteller's audience with a sense of being present at the scene. This chapter presents a background on the rationale for the use of VR technologies in storytelling as well as classroom applications for immersive storytelling across all academic disciplines. The technologies and processes for creating an immersive story are presented along with clear steps and recommended websites. In addition, examples of immersive stories are shared.
