Filmmakers employ virtual reality technology to create totally immersed spaces and implement augmented reality methods for improving special effects. Through this new trend, movies receive gaming-style interactive elements that boost audience engagement.

8. Gamers as Movie and TV Show Creators

Gaming audiences find TV shows and movies more compelling because the creators use their understanding of game mechanics and world-building along with interactivity techniques.
