What happens when a story is no longer something you simply read, but a place you can actually step into?

Step inside the immersive world of I Create, inspired by Bernice Loman’s children’s book and designed to encourage creativity, imagination, and purpose. In this experiential walk & talk tour, Bernice will take participants from page to virtual place, showing how characters, ideas, and narratives can become environments to explore and interact with.

Together, we’ll look at how XR can extend storytelling beyond the page, create new forms of participation, and open up possibilities for education, entertainment, and audience engagement.

Experience firsthand what happens when stories become places and readers become participants in the worlds those stories create.
