Actors are not specifically mentioned in the provided context from the WWDC sessions. However, if you are referring to the concept of "characters" in interactive experiences, the session titled "Design interactive experiences for visionOS" discusses how characters can enhance storytelling and audience engagement. Characters can be brought to life through interactions, eye contact, proximity, and hand and body interactions, making them more relatable and engaging for the audience. This session emphasizes the importance of designing experiences that support audience choice and interaction, which can be likened to the role of actors in traditional media.
For more details, you can refer to the session Design interactive experiences for visionOS (08:55) where the role of characters in interactive storytelling is discussed.
