Coincidental question!
I literally just released this article. Would love to know where our thinking overlaps!

Love the approach to the focus diagrams. Clear and low-tech/scribblable. Not my usual role to plan this stuff but good to have the info in the back of my head!

Glad to hear it connects with you!

Thanks for sharing! We went deeper into that topic but it got edited out for time sake. I was quoting the book Hyper Reality by Curtis Hickman who identified 4 possible roles a player can have, depending on agency: the witness, the victim, the sleuth, the killer...

1. Witness being, you're invisible to the world, nobody interacts with you
2. Victim means the world sees you and maybe interact with you, but you can't do anything
3. Sleuth is you can do things in the world, but they have no affect on the story
4. Killer is when your actions affect the story

Because we're making immersive video and not a whole VR game, we have no interactivity, so Sleuth and Killer options are gone. This means an immersive camera can be either a witness or a victim. By first identifying which role the camera has, we can then build the narrative around that identity!

You can do Killer bandersnatch style, like CGP grey https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CHHRnkkGNyc , but it would be a company worth of effort.
