Virtual Reality is cool. Why? Because now it's used in movies! Well not all movies just a few, but it still seems really cool. According to people who have used this new device is that it allows to view everything in a 360 radius. What stinks is that the viewing point is static which means you can't move in the actual 3-D space, but only turn. This is still a very neat thing though. The headset immerses you into the scene, you are in the movie. They do this by trying to make you apart of the virtual environment. Another neat thing that this device can bring to movies is the fact that this can bring a whole new type of transition, sound. A sound transition would make it so you would hear something and then you would look at it. Virtual Reality is coming whether you like it or not.
I really enjoyed this article. It was very cool to hear this persons experience with Virtual Reality. I personally would love to try it out, I think it would be awesome to experience. I never even knew this specific device existed, I have only known of the video game specific ones. I just want to know how close people are to making it so you can move in a virtual scene in a movie sense, that is something I would buy. This is relevant to the video side of digital media. Overall awesome article!
If you're interested in VR in the future, look up the Samsung VR. You put your phone into the headset. It's pretty neat!
