Emerging Possibilities
摘要
This chapter explores how emerging technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), immersive audio, machine learning (ML), and Web3 are shaping the future of digital gameful compositions (DGCs). Building on the frameworks established in previous chapters, this chapter examines how these technologies might expand the expressive potential of DGCs by offering new modes of interaction, embodiment, and collaboration. VR and AR enable immersive performance environments, while spatial audio deepens the sense of agency and presence. Machine learning introduces adaptive systems and intelligent agents, allowing for dynamic musical responses and personalised experiences. Web3 technologies, including blockchain and decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs), suggest new models for authorship, collaboration, and preservation. The chapter also considers the challenges of technological obsolescence and the importance of designing works with longevity in mind.
