Project Anamnesis is a 14-week exploration of interactive storytelling that combines live-action footage with advanced technology to create an emotionally immersive experience. Designed for the C.A.V.E.R.N. system at the Entertainment Technology Center (ETC), the project utilizes a 270-degree curved projection screen and a 20-foot-wide interactive play area, enabling dynamic local multiplayer interactions within virtual environments.

The project’s goal is to showcase the system’s capabilities, focusing on player interaction design, narrative depth, high-fidelity audio, and real-time user tracking. Team Interactive Story Labs will craft a 3-5 minute immersive journey, giving audiences the power to actively engage with the unfolding narrative. This experience aims to evoke strong emotional connections, allowing players to feel a sense of personal agency while deepening their involvement in the story’s world.
