Hello Niantic Spatial Partnerships Team,
My name is Ramya, and I’m reaching out to share an early-stage concept for an immersive VR application focused on storytelling as an embodied, meaningful experience.
The core idea is a modular VR platform where users don’t simply watch a story — they enter it.
The experience allows users to move through narrative worlds built from:
reimagined fairy tales and myths,
fictional or symbolic stories of wonder and imagination,
and optional personal stories that users choose to revisit and reframe.
Rather than relying on combat, spectacle, or passive consumption, the experience is designed around presence, atmosphere, voice, and interaction. The goal is to offer a thoughtful alternative to violence-driven or purely entertainment-focused media, while remaining accessible and engaging.
Many people already process emotions, identity, and life experiences through stories, films, and characters. This project brings that familiar process into an immersive medium, allowing users to experience stories from within — as participants rather than observers.
Primary Use Case: Adult Experiences
For adults, the platform can support reflective and imaginative storytelling experiences focused on:
narrative reframing and meaning-making,
exploration of personal or mythic themes,
calm, emotionally safe immersion rather than intensity or shock.
The experience avoids therapeutic claims and instead focuses on user-led exploration, creative re-authoring, and presence.
Extended Use Case: Children & Family-Friendly Experiences
The same framework can be adapted for children and families through:
age-appropriate, non-violent fairy tales and stories,
reimagined classics presented in gentle, conscious ways,
guided imaginative exploration as an alternative to passive streaming content.
All experiences would be opt-in, curated, and designed with emotional safety and clarity in mind.
Platform & Future Direction
The application is envisioned as a flexible system that could evolve to include:
curated story libraries,
creator or user-built story templates,
and, in the longer term, AI-assisted generation of personalized narrative experiences.
I’m sharing this as an exploratory concept and am open to collaboration, feedback, or refinement. I would be happy to explore whether this idea aligns with [Company Name]’s vision for immersive, human-centered XR experiences.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
Ramya
