Wherein we explore how to scaffold an audience’s experience of an immersive world, as seen in the HBO series Westworld.

A series of screenshots from a scene in Westworld, showing William at a futuristic train station, then in front of a large screen showing footage of a field, then in a room containing shelves and draws of old-timey clothing and pistols, accompanied by a host.
