Interactive storytelling isn’t new; it’s the original narrative mode, as ancient as the tales told in primeval caves around the fire.

The Special Interest Group for Interactive Storytelling is a forum of reference — across industry and academia — bringing together thought leaders from diverse fields: gaming, film, VR & AR, interactive TV, location-based entertainment, and immersive theater.

Our goal is to decode the essentials of this evolving craft and pool our collective insights on interactive narratives in their new digital forms.

On the menu: in-depth discussions of concepts and methods, project presentations and robust dissections, and open conversations on what’s possible now and what comes next.
