Inclusion of Metaverse in Cinematic Representation: Balancing Storytelling and Technology

Abstract

The inclusion of the metaverse in cinematic representation involves the incorporation of virtual and augmented reality technologies, as well as concepts from the metaverse, into storytelling within movies and other visual media. The metaverse refers to a collective virtual shared space, merging physical and virtual reality, where users can interact with each other and digital environments in real-time. This concept gained popularity through science fiction cinema. The integration of the metaverse is revolutionising cinematic representation by immersing audiences in interactive and visually stunning worlds. As technology and storytelling merge, films now offer personalised experiences, collaborative elements, and novel ways to explore themes of identity, ethics, and societal impact. The metaverse influence extends beyond entertainment, reflecting shifts in how we consume media, perceive reality, and engage with digital culture, fundamentally reshaping the cinematic landscape.
