As artificial intelligence and virtual reality mature, the model will evolve dramatically. We are moving from consuming fantasy volumes to co-creating them. Generative AI tools already allow fans to write their own "Volume 4" of a canceled series. VR platforms like the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest offer immersive dual perspectives where the user’s physical body and digital avatar coexist.
Video games and interactive films (like Bandersnatch ) take DP fantasies to the next level. The "dual perspective" becomes literal: the player’s perspective vs. the character’s perspective. Each playthrough is a unique volume of the fantasy. Popular media is increasingly blurring the line between passive viewing and active fantasizing.
