How Storytelling Can Change the World
The 5D Conference presents the second in a year-long series called 5D/Design is Change: How Storytelling Can Change the World, created to explore the role of immersive media in social change and humanitarian design. JoAnn Kuchera-Morin, creator of the AlloSphere, a one-of-a-kind scientific instrument for visualizing, hearing and exploring complex multi-dimensional data, is joined by Kevin Carpenter of Hanson Robotics and other innovators to discuss the design of non-dialectic language, its use in narrative media, and its impact on human understanding.

The 5D: Future of Immersive Design Conference is a leading entertainment industry design, technology and innovation conference and is the platform for exploring the present and future of immersive design, and its impact on all aspects of the creative media space. www.5dconference.com
