Interactivity as performance allows Nash to draw attention to affect and emotion, considering the different forms that interactive documentary engages with embodied performances such as augmented and virtual reality documentary and gaming. Nash acknowledges the fragility of the interactive documentary because of its experimental approach adopting software platforms that are still in development limiting the audience reach, but she remains hopeful throughout the book that the future for the interactive documentary lies ahead, and we have perhaps only scratched the surface.
