It could be a script, storyboards, a video or animation, audio, flat or 360 photo/video, moodboards, concept art, light projections, LARP-setup, live performance or a 3D world / environment in a virtual venue like Mozilla Hubs, VR-chat etc. Or any combination.

Is prior tech knowledge mandatory?
Producing immersive experiences requires some knowledge of the techniques on how to make them, (or why they don’t work) so it is preferable to have some sort of technical knowledge, but it is not a requirement.
There are no specific requirements for any software. You can use the software that best suits your needs, for now.
Most importantly is your intention, that you have started looking into how to explore immersive experiences or how to create them.
