Oculus VR has been recently bolstering its line-up of technology and content partners, like the recent acquisition of Pebbles Interactive and now revealing a new partnership with Montreal based company, Felix & Paul Studios.
VRFocus reports on the revelation of a premiere for Oculus Story Studios' forthcoming VR film Henry, set to take place next week.
VRFocus- As Oculus VR has said on many occasions, the company is committed to the videogame industry with its Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD). The device was originally pitched as a peripheral for videogames in its now historic Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign and that stance hasn’t changed even with last year’s news of Facebook buying Oculus VR for $2 billion USD. That said, the VR HMD has many potential applications. Oculus VR itself is willing to admit that the fabled VR ‘killer app’ might not be a videogame but perhaps a film instead.
VRFocus- This week at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) a panel was held with Andy Hendrickson of Walt Disney Animation as well as Nate Mitchell of Oculus VR. During the course of the panel, Hendrickson discussed applications of virtual reality (VR) in Disney. During the course of the discussion he mentioned that Disney has developed a Big Hero 6 app based on the new film.
