“Quantum Narratives” by Nia Co-Founder, Stephanie Riggs Launches (and Sold Out in 15 min) at SXSW2025

Presenting at SXSW at March 11th, Stephanie broke new ground yet again with her newest book, Quantum Narratives.

Revolutionary, research-backed, and actionable, the talk transformed attendees’ perspectives on the future of stories and radically reframed how interactive and spatial storytellers approach narrative. Stephanie exposed our narrative dependency on Aristotelian Poetics and introduced a framework for combining principles from the physical sciences with today’s generative tools.

​Stephanie is regarded as one of today’s most influential pioneers in immersive technology and narrative innovation. A former Disney Imagineer with over twenty-five years of groundbreaking experience in film, theater, virtual reality, augmented reality, game design, and artificial intelligence, she has been called “the renaissance woman of the immersive era” and “a 21st century Marshall McLuhan.”

Stephanie Riggs brings to NiaXP a visionary approach shaped by her work in immersive storytelling and narrative theory. Drawing from the ideas in her book Quantum Narratives, she infuses NiaXP’s AI-driven experiences with a deep understanding of how to create meaningful, adaptive interactions rooted in the science of story and human connection.
