Virtual Reality cinema is here
Samsung’s Gear VR headset has been installed in a what is believed to be the first Virtual Reality popup cinema.
The VIVID VR Cinema has been constructed in Toronto, Canada, where a total of three different films were being shown — The Visitor, where a young couple prepares for the woman’s greatest fear to arrive; Imago, a title about a former dancer in a coma who’s aware of her surroundings; and Sonar, a movie about a drone that discovers a signal on an asteroid.
The cinema is small – only 30 seats. Each has a pair of noise-cancelling headphones and a Gear VR with a Galaxy S7 clipped to the back. Tickets cost $ 20 for the 40-minutes to watch the three films.
The movies have been carefully crafted to let their viewers to choose different narratives to focus on so even the plot is interactive.
It is expected that more of this type of entertainment will arrive when more content is available. It might be a couple of decades before the first Hollywood blockbuster though.
