In the best immersive experiences, technology doesn’t take centre stage. It works quietly in the wings, a silent stagehand that makes the magic happen. In this talk I’ll share how digital-physical tools can act as the glue between audiences and meaningful experiences. We’ll explore four ways technology transforms immersive practice: as the hidden bridge between intent and experience; as the enabler of personalised, responsive worlds; as the social glue that connects people; and as a force multiplier allowing creators to punch above their weight in scale and reach.
