Texas Immersive is redefining how we tell stories and design experiences through emerging media and technology. Our Explorer in Residence program brings a visionary leader from the immersive industry to campus for a multi-day curated experience of connection, inspiration, and collaboration.

Vicki Dobbs Beck will explore the evolution of Immersive Entertainment by highlighting projects from Lucasfilm / ILM’s 10 year history in XR narrative experience design and development. She will spotlight key trends influencing ILM’s strategic direction and highlight the essential qualities of those who thrive in pioneering roles within an emerging industry. Framed by her experience, Vicki will share her vision for the future and what excites her as we transition from storytelling, one way communication, to this much bigger idea of StoryLIVING where you’re in a world making meaningful choices that drive the narrative forward.

Join us at the Explorer in Residence Night, a public keynote presentation and Q&A celebrating Vicki's work and vision for the future!
