THE FUTURE OF STORYTELLING IS SPATIAL

We are living in an increasingly more spatial storytelling world, as technology allows us to view objects and traverse landscapes made entirely from photographs laid over virtual (often millimeter accurate) 3D scaffolding. We can already access these experiences on flat phone screens and laptops like the photogrammetry model seen here (made from hundreds of flat images). Over the next decade, as VR and AR technology become cheaper, less bulky, and more sophisticated, we will see stories shifting more and more into XR experiences as mixed reality glasses become part of mainstream media consumption.

Photos are metaphors, making the abstract concrete and mystifying the mundane. Be clear, be confident, and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself.
