Scenario is the world's first 360-degree, 3D, interactive cinematic fairytale. Incorporating some elements from the notorious Fritzl case in Austria, the audience and humanoid characters interact to help Elizabeth K and her four children, who are all imprisoned in a basement, discover possible ways to escape. Hampering their efforts at every turn are humanoid sentinels. This companion book sheds light on a ground-breaking work created by some of the world's leading new media artists and computer scientists.
