Journalism was built around text and image. I wanted to know what happens when you build it around space.
“The Stories Within” started at Parsons in 2019 as a research project on the future of news. I channeled it through a Medium publication – seven articles, each documenting one phase of making. The first piece introduces the series and sets the question: how does immersive media reshape what a story can be.
From there, the work moves through design and implementation in sequence. I planned a spatial audio story, then explored how immersive audio stories are constructed from the ground up. I built a spatial podcast, then a WebVR piece combining spatial audio with YouTube 360. I created a 360 image background for VR environments and built a spatial piece for Bose AR.
Each article captures the thinking at that stage – process write-ups, prototypes, technical notes. Nothing polished into retrospect. The archive holds the work as it happened, which is the point: a live record of how a concept moves from question to built thing.
The publication links to all seven pieces. It stays open, so you can trace the path I took.
