This week in the interview we get some fresh perspective from outside the immersive community, talking with Jorge Demoya and Julian Rodriguez about the virtual reality experience, The VOID. We explore the delta between the reactions of a gamer and a non-gamer to this industry staple and go in-depth on ‘Ralph Breaks VR’. Finally, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the mixed VR and real-world experience that has made The VOID a leader in the immersive space.

What is immersive entertainment? Oh my word, does anybody know?? When someone asks you what you did Saturday night, what is the 2 second explanation? I went to see this movie, I went to dinner at x place, I went to this concert. These work because everyone knows what the movie, dinner, the concert experience is. The experience is the medium, the method of communication. You don’t have to work to come up with that mental image. This reeeeally doesn’t work with immersive entertainment, which puts Immersion Nation, and our guest in a genuinely difficult position. Because we’re both on a mutual mission to explain the unexplainable. Our guest is the founder of No Proscenium, an immersive entertainment publication and hotbed of wisdom and support for the immersive community. Noah Nelson is here to help you and me understand why Immersive entertainment is so hard to define, and ultimately, why that might not event the goal we should be trying for.Selected Links:No ProsceniumInstagramTwitterFacebookEverything Immersive Facebook GroupNo Proscenium PodcastHERE summitThe RendonVampire of the masqueradeJay Bushman Sarah ThacherCandle House CollectiveDead PlayShow Notes:HERE summit [2:39]Immersive music proper [3:10]Chosen fictional world [8:43]Wreck it Ralph Breaks VR [12:11]*Spoiler* Into the Spider Verse [13:43]The ‘I’ word: Immersive [15:26]The Transmedia wars [17:04]The Origins of Noah the Nelson [20:04]“What I like about the field right now… What I worry about” [21:32]What is immersive? real for just a moment [22:57]The medium doesn’t matter [24:07]Lowering the impedance[27:22]
Hello! We’re back from Disney and anxious to talk about it! But first, we discuss the latest (week old) Disney news. (Sorry, ‘bout that. Too much excitement over the End Game ticket release last time!) A new trailer for The Lion King dropped and Joe learned his lesson not to bring it up no matter how incredible he thinks it is. Also, the 2019 Food and Wine Festival dates were released ensuring that August 29thwill be the most insane day in park history. In this episode, we go park-by-park reviewing the highlights of the FOOD and the rides and the FOOD, starting in Animal Kingdom. This being our first trip to Disney World since Pandora opened, we discuss all things Pandora. Two incredible fastpass grabs by Joe enabled us to ride Flight of Passage twice, which I’m thankful for. Definitely don’t ride this for the first time on a full stomach. The second ride, though, was a delight. We both appreciated the ride’s unique qualities that make it actually feel and look and smell like you’re on the back of a banshee. All we did in Hollywood Studios was visit Toy Story Land, which was vibrant and so much fun! Slinky Dog Dash and our (untalked about) interaction with Buzz Lightyear made the trip to this park well worth it. (Check the Instagram for the story about Buzz.) And then it was EPCOT…oh EPCOT…the place that all parents love and kids are like, “Hey, can we please go to Magic Kingdom now?” I never understood the love affair either until I developed a palette. I’d say that everything we ate there was the highlight of my trip: poutine, maple popcorn milkshake, Orange Bird Slushie, and the cauliflower dish at The Honey Bee-stro. Plus, we rode Frozen, a ride that will make you love the movie. In Magic Kingdom, we rode the staples, but talked a lot more about the rides that are easy to miss like The Peoplemover and Spaceship Earth. (Hot tip: These two rides are perfect to fall asleep on if you’re tired.) We thoroughly enjoyed the cute Donald Duck cartoon in Mickey’s Philharmagic. And again, after running so much during our trip, we enjoyed sitting down for 10 minutes or so. Finally, we end our trip discussion in Disney Springs. If you have the chance to do the Ralph Breaks VR at The Void before it’s gone, do it! It’s a riveting competition between you and the other characters that I wouldn’t promote nearly as much if I hadn’t beaten Joe. ;) We had a fabulous trip and are so happy to share it with you! Thanks so much for listening and making it all the way down here in the description. Don’t forget to check out our Facebook and Instagram accounts @enchantedearspodcast. Have a magical day!
