Episode #102: Virtual Reality Series - PJ Morreale and Ben Leonberg YouVisit Studios

January 13, 2016

Continuing our partnership with VR Fest, we are proud to bring you leaders in the field of Virtual and Augmented Reality.
My guests today are YouVisit's PJ Morreale (Head of YouVisit Studios) and Ben Leonberg (Writer/Director).
These two are creating powerful experiences for Virtual Reality that will change the way we think about travel. YouVisit has it’s roots in helping students digitally tour universities. They quickly recognized the power of an experience like Virtual Reality and leveraged that to help Universities, cities and even countries show what they have to offer. This is an amazing leap forward with technology, but there are very important, very real challenges they had to work through.
During today’s episode we will cover topics including: 

What role story plays in a VR experience
Creating an experience that delivers a message, evokes emotion, visually stunning, transforming and transportive.
Purpose determining story and the various elements
What it means to produce VR experiences
