Marty Note Os Note Here's a fascinating article about the problems with virtual reality storytelling and empathy.
Virtual Reality (VR) is all the rage and very popular at SXSW. We know storytelling is a powerhouse for building our empathy muscles. But what is the impact of VR on empathy?
Turns out, it's not what you think.
The aim of VR is to encourage a human connection and understanding between those wearing a headset and the characters in the story.
Problems around empathy rise when certain stories simply generate a feeling of helplessness in the participant that leads to greater detachment -- not greater human connection.
I love what one of those interviewed for the article says near the end: "But the empathy idea presents another problem for me – the notion that the world's problems arise from a scarcity of feeling rather than from issues of power, inequality and exploitation of people and planetary resources." Hear hear.
There are more details and insights to read in this long-very-long post, and it will make you go, "huh".

La importancia de narrar contar historias personales nos hacen ser más humanos, siempre y cuando lo que contemos a los demás no se convierta en un mero chismorreo de azotea y lo que informes y transmitas a través de tus ideas, sentimientos, emociones, tampoco se convierta en un muro de lamentaciones, tiene que ser una herramienta para construir mensajes y conocimientos.

De transacciones eventuales en las que transmitimos mensajes, al desarrollo de historias que apuntalen lealtad. Creando comunidades de sentido.

El ser humano está programado biológicamente para escuchar historias y responder ante ellas. El famoso concepto del “Storytelling” se centra en la comunicación a través de historias, para conseguir un mayor impacto en aquellos que nos escuchan, por ello, las técnicas del “Storytelling” son particularmente efectivas para convencer al receptor de cualquier información. Plantéense la siguiente pregunta:"¿Por qué la publicidad de automóviles ya apenas se centra en enumerar prestaciones, sino que se apoya en historias, experiencias y emociones?”

La communication visuelle est indéniablement plus efficace que toutes les autres formes de discours. Mais communiquer efficacement avec des images est aussi tout un art.
