Watching Das Boot in virtual reality cinema.

Gotmilk · 06-17-13, 12:39 PM

I downloaded the vrcinema3D app which is meant for Oculus Rift. (http://www.oculusvr.com/)

So i strapped my headset and for 3.5 hours i was in another space. An empty cinema enjoying my favourite movie on a big screen. The effect was very realistic and i totally forgot that in reality i was sitting in a living room.

The only downside was a bit low resolution but HD versions are coming out next year. With HD version the experience will be more immersive.

Cool idea....but not sure if I like that.

The way the shot is doubled...

That would be better IRL.

It just makes for a bad youtube video.

I have no problem immersing myself in movies simply projected on a screen.

Don't need the new stuff, don't want to pay for it either.

As a glasses wearer, I have not found any of the 3D/virtual stuff to be all the comfortable.

I find that writing and acting is what bring me in immersion wise, not graphics.

But to each his own.

its not about immersing yourself in the movie.

Its about immersing yourself into huge empty cinema wich plays your favourite movie

BTW: when vorpx will be released i will be able to immerse myself into SH game
