The dust is settling from Summit 24 and we're deep into the process of editing all of the footage from the sessions to publish out over the next couple of months. We've been thinking through about how people would prefer to access the content, previously we've always published content through our YouTube Channel (https://lnkd.in/eXbxWvAX) but we wonder if actually people would prefer to access it via our podcast (https://lnkd.in/eBf22fMx) ? To test this out, we're publishing some sessions from last year's Live Immersive Design Symposium on our podcast feed with audio descriptions of the slides presenters used. Let us know what you think, and what platform(s) you'd prefer.

Punchdrunk have released their Inside the Carriageworks series, which will be open to anyone who wants a deeper insight into the process and approach their creative team takes to unlock the possibilities of a space, create intricate design, build different environments with lighting and sound, and translate source texts into an unforgettable audience journey.

For those eager to unpack the making of Viola’s Room, Punchdrunk's new offerings join their existing programme to unlock the core elements of building this new show. Q&A talks with the Creative team and a brand new tour of the Viola’s Room set also join this series. For those who would like to learn more about the hidden stories of The Burnt City, their intimate set tours continue with their knowledgeable guide to reveal the secret spaces in the city of Troy. #immersive #punchdrunk #immersiveexperiences

🤖 AI... What is it it good for?? 🤖 Well, according to this brilliant Round Table from the Themed Entertainment Association, it's good for quite a lot actually. Michael Libby thank you for the heads up on this. The number of smart things you said over that hour was ridiculous. ❓ A Question for Experience Designers ❓ What AI tools are you using...?? And what are you using them to speed up, facilitate or stimulate? (DM me if this feels like sensitive intel 👀 , though we need to not be embarrassed about using tools that help us do our jobs better) (WXO - World Experience Organization and Immersive Experience Network members, I'm looking at you) Christopher Yew I really need to sit down with you for a tutorial on whats going on at Google DeepMind. #AI #ThemedEntertainment #RoundTable #TheRobotsAreTakingOverDiscuss #NotReally
