Abstract
This study shows that reality in interactive documentaries can be distinguished between narrative reality and visual reality, which can be defined as a feature of reality-based interactive documentaries. This study reveals the visual reality in that all audiences who visually watched "The Maribor Uprisings" were immersed in the movie presented by the producer, and thus sympathized with the problems of non-violent protests and social conflicts through two-way communication between the audience and the actors. This study also confirms that epic reality in that it can selectively participate in the narrative of movies through questions about democracy in action. Besides, this study finds that the reality expressed in the interactive documentary deepens the audience's 'immersion', showing that the direction of the narrative can be determined by reflecting the opinions of the audience on an event or narrative of the movie. In this process, the audience was found to have the characteristics of being able to recognize and rediscover events in the movie as if they were close to them.
