Julián de la Fuente Prieto, Pilar Lacasa, Rut Martínez Borda
Abstract
The general aim of this paper is to examine mixed reality settings present in the media practices of young people, exploring the future metaverses in which interactive narrative experiences will be carried out. First, the emergent design of metaverses is approached, going from their conception to their current state. Second, a selection of preferred platforms for young people is proposed and then the interfaces of these platforms are analyzed based on youth practices, with special emphasis on the narrative dimension. Third, emerging models of metaverses preferred by young people are discussed.
