Great question! MGS1, MGS2, and Doki Doki Literature Club break the 4th wall, making players question their role. Pokémon Go, while lacking traditional narrative, uses gameplay to blend the real and virtual, making the player the protagonist.

11/ Exploring the intersection of reality and virtual worlds is something I’m deeply passionate about, both in storytelling and game design. If you're working on similar concepts, I’d love to connect and discuss ideas! #XR #GameDesign #VR #ImmersiveNarrative #MixedReality #Storytelling

10/ This kind of storytelling breaks the 4th wall because it acknowledges that the player is living a dual existence: they’re playing in a virtual world while still rooted in the real world. It creates a much deeper sense of immersion, as virtual threats start affecting the tangible world. 🌀

9/ This isn’t just about adapting the game environment to reality—it’s about the virtual world impacting and changing the real one.

In this setup, the physical world becomes part of the storyline, where actions in the virtual universe have visible effects on the real world, deepening the immersion.

8/ The game becomes a bridge between reality and virtuality. In XR the virtual world can invade our reality, creating a tension where actions in the game world have real-world consequences.

7/ Imagine the game as an extension of you. The virtual world isn't just a playground for a pre-written character, it's a space where your real self—your experiences, choices, and emotions—become part of the narrative. Your identity isn’t just input data; it shapes the world you play in.

6/ And that’s where I introduce a concept I call the self role-playing game. In this type of game, you’re not playing a scripted character; you’re playing as yourself. Your choices, your environment, and even your identity become central to the story.

5/ These narratives don’t just challenge the definition of reality—they push us to consider: what makes something (or someone) real? Is it physical presence, or is it behavior, connection, and agency? This is the kind of question XR games could explore.

4/ Digimon dives into the idea of digital beings growing sentience, and our emotional connection to them. It raises a fundamental question: Can something digital, something created by code, be considered alive? Does the perception of life lie in interaction, or in consciousness?

3/ Another example is Digimon. Here, digital creatures exist as both companions and living entities in a virtual ecosystem, deeply tied to the real world. These stories ask: what happens when virtual entities become so lifelike that we perceive them as real, even alive?

2/ Let’s take a step back. Many stories in media have already explored the intersection between real and virtual worlds. Take "Serial Experiments Lain", where Lain navigates both her physical existence and her presence in the “Wired.” The boundaries blur as both worlds shape her identity.

1/ Traditional XR games often follow a familiar formula: embodying a fictional hero in an imagined world. But what if we flipped this idea? Imagine a game where you are the protagonist—where the story isn’t separate from your life, but integrates your identity and reality.

The 3DRudder was an innovative device that provided an intuitive solution for movement in VR, significantly reducing motion sickness. Its design allowed for smooth and comfortable navigation, offering a experience that many overlooked but was truly effective.

10/ Today, #XR and mixed reality technology are capable of supporting these kinds of stories. So why not make use of them? 🚀

What if the player wasn’t just a hero in a virtual world, but a hero of both the virtual and real worlds?

J'ai revendu deux trois broutilles pour pouvoir la pré-commander haha. Si j'étais domicilié en région parisienne, je t'aurais inviter a venir l'essayer avec plaisir.

Hello @otaxou.fr je me demandais si cette petite machine, certe loins des monstres de puissances que nous avons aussi bien en ARM qu'en X86, suscitait tout de même ton intérêt à la vue de son D Pad et de ses six boutons en façade ?
