Immersive digital fiction
Dreaming Methods is a highly experienced studio that creates immersive and compelling fictional experiences through VR, digital art and games, with a strong focus on reimagining writing and literacy.
As an independent studio we strive to create our own artistic projects with a commercial focus to support our growth and sustainability while adding to the creative richness and diversity of the Wakefield/Yorkshire region.
Dreaming Methods’ immersive stories are used in schools and universities worldwide as well as providing a focus for academic research. We co-developed the first ever digitally-born story to be included in an English-language curriculum.
Our most recent artistic VR collaboration 'Monoliths' was shortlisted for the London Film Festival Immersive XR/Art Award 2022.
