Storytelling for Virtual Reality

An indispensable book when it comes to the best books on virtual reality is Storytelling for Virtual Reality: Methods and Principles for Crafting Immersive Narratives, by John Bucher, which offers interviews with hundreds of VR experience designers as well as the most important insights into immersive storytelling. Bucher is also pursuing a Ph.D. in depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, so he has a unique historical and mythological perspective on how virtual reality may help us delve within, reflect on our lives, and discover deeper knowledge and meaning about ourselves.

Storytelling for Virtual Reality acts as a link between new media students and professionals who are attempting to bridge the gap between the burgeoning world of VR technology and the art form of traditional storytelling. Rather than focusing just on the technical, the text focuses on the narrative and how best to arrange, construct, and tell tales in virtual immersive environments.

Author John Bucher looks at how storytelling's eternal principles are being used, altered, and transcended in Virtual Reality. Interviews, dialogues, and case studies with industry executives from LucasFilm, 20th Century Fox, Oculus, Insomniac Games, and Google are included, as well as interviews, conversations, and case studies with both pioneers and innovators in VR storytelling.

"A wonderful blend of cutting-edge VR storytelling and practice, interlaced with ancient myth and philosophy for context and clarity, interviews that are vital and informative, and, lastly, a fundamental, required foundation for future VR storytelling. John Bucher, a master teacher, carefully helps the writer through the process of unraveling her own rich and flawless VR script."―Kim Walker, Ph.D., Full Professor of Digital Film and Media Arts, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.
