Eric R. Williams is an American screenwriter, professor, cinematic virtual reality director, and new media storyteller.[1][2][3] He is known for developing alternative narrative and documentary techniques that take advantage of digital technologies.[4][5]
Williams's narrative research emphasizes collaboration between storytellers and their audience.[2] While teaching at Ohio University, Williams began combining aspects of traditional film, theater, and literature with emerging communication technologies such as virtual reality and 360-degree video. In 2020, he and his colleagues wrote a book explaining their techniques, naming this new medium "virtual reality cinema" (or cine-VR).[6]
