The other thing you notice is that you know more about those 252 people than you expected. People could toggle into a navigation mode that would let them move around within a crowd, then toggle back into "content mode," where they’d be re-immersed by the performance. In this early iteration, everyone was grouped on a giant plane, like floor tickets at an arena show. Or so they found out when they settled on what LeBeau calls a "hamster ball" design. You need to give people the feeling of being immersed in the actual live event, and also the feeling of being immersed in the virtual crowd-and if you’re not careful, those two things can jeopardize each other. When LeBeau and his team set out to craft the perfect live experience in VR, they eventually discovered a paradox. But getting to here took a little longer. Yet, it wouldn't be nearly as fun if it was just me alone. "Going to a concert or a sporting event or a tech talk or a movie-these are all things where you gather around people you don't know, but it's not about the people you don't know. "When I think about hanging out among people that I don't know, I'm not looking to immediately get to know every one of them," he says.
But when it came to relaxing familiarity, LeBeau’s team immediately thought about live events. Oculus Rooms is synchronous and familiar. (Facebook Spaces' ability to place a video Messenger call between VR and IRL, so that one caller is human and the other is an avatar, is an example of asymmetric social VR.) And then there’s familiarity, whether or not the people in VR know each other. There’s symmetry, whether or not people in a space are in VR. There’s synchronicity, whether or not people are experiencing something virtual at the same time. We’ll be sure to tune in and see which VR experiences take away some awards.If you want to think about social VR like Facebook and Oculus do, then imagine a set of three criteria. The Emmy Awards take place on September 17th at 5PM PT. It’s encouraging to see this type of content be so quickly welcomed by prestigious ceremonies such as this. That’s a decent selection of the VR experiences we’ve seen in the past year.
OCULUS STRANGER THINGS VR DOWNLOAD
Finally, we have The People’s House – Inside The White House With Barack And Michelle Obama ( download here for Rift), a piece that made headlines for featuring the former President in 360 degrees.
Then there’s Mission: ISS, a space-set experience developed by Magnopus ( download here for Rift). One is Story Studio’s last project, Dear Angelica ( download here for Rift), which was easily its best and most memorable piece. The other experiences are in the Outstanding Original Interactive Program category, and they’re all made by or in collaboration with Oculus itself. Finally there’s The Simpsons: Planet of the Couches ( watch here).
OCULUS STRANGER THINGS VR TV
One of those is the VR experience based on Netflix’s hit TV series, Stranger Things ( watch here), another is the VR experience that ties-into the Amazon TV series, Mr. Three are in the Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media Within A Scripted Program category. The nominations for this year’s awards have just been revealed though, and there are plenty more VR experiences recognized.Ī total of six VR projects are getting nods this year. It was almost a year ago now that Oculus Story Studio’s animated short, Henry, won VR its first Emmy, not that it did the little critter any good.
