To expand on my proposal, it is important to understand that with the change of how we consume media, comes an opportunity to provide a new method of storytelling delivery. I would like to provide a sample scene of a narrative recreation of a story as an example of potential. I would design a 360 experience that is a recreation of an existing piece of literature or media and deliver a version that uses the technology discovered through this model that provides an interactive and narrative experience. The goal being for the user to experience a point of view story that would normally be able to experience through reading. I imagine it to be a hybrid between novel and film, with interactive storytelling to be the key aspect to the piece. WithinVR was a project that shut down in 2023, however there is still access to an archive of projects they released available on Youtube™ The channel’s title piece ‘A 360 preview of within’ explores different examples of the 360 capabilities in storytelling. An analysis of the video shows that there is reasonable capability to provide a satisfactory product as a final piece. There are moments where just being a 360 medium provides more weight to the content being viewed, as in the example of the march that was recorded. By being in the centre of the crowd and as a viewer being able to navigate around and see the sea of people around, it lends importance to the scene and achieves something that would normally take great vision and directing to achieve in a traditional piece. It can provide additional context to videos that would normally require exposition or other storytelling tricks to deliver. An example of how this can be used in storytelling as an adaptation from existing media lies with Jasmin Vardimons experience ‘Alice in VR Wonderland’ (2021) in this, the audience is invited to experience a retelling of that classic story reimagined through VR headsets that allows for a multi sensory experience that allows the audience to be up close and personal with the cast. 

Now that there is an established potential desire for a delivery of this medium, there remains the discussion of the key objectives and potential challenges that may come through this proposal. Understanding the methodology and the reception around the target are only a section of the grand task. My goal is to deliver a final product which will expose the potential for a larger idea in the long run. These Visual Novels will be designed with the intention of becoming an alternative delivery method for users and enjoyers of traditional novels. Another path to consider is the potential usefulness as a tool these Visual Novels could provide to people who have conditions such as Aphantasia; which according to the Cleveland Clinic (N.D) means you can not picture things in your mind. Alongside this it could be used to assist people who struggle with reading traditional ways due to a lack of stimulus. It is important to understand the accessibility of this and how to approach that avenue in a reasonable and responsible way. By reminding ourselves to not exaggerate the difference but rather provide an alternative avenue for people to be able to enjoy the same media as others.
