NewImages XR Market Welcomes New Buyers, New Storytelling Forms


NewImages is an 'immersive festival pushing all forms of creativity in storytelling,' says XR market head Ellen Kuo.

Kuo also delighted in a small but growing inclination to explore immersive possibilities beyond the traditional headset, pointing toward the very nascent “Amassonic” as an emblematic project in this field. Co-created by Maria Cecilia Oliveira – a Brazilian academic with a specialty in environmental politics – the experience builds an immersive soundscape to explore the layers and voices of the Amazon River.
