Can VR Films or Movies be Mainstream?
Recently we came across an article from Mashable that discuss on the VR movies. We think it triggers a very interesting question on the future of movies in this format and whether it can be successful with the current approach.
Just to share, we have also watched some VR short films ourselves and some of them are very good such as “Dreams of Dali” and also some videos from Discovery Channel. It would be nice if all of the moviegoers experienced watching them.
On the VR movies, it is quite worrisome because the takeup rate of 3D movies at cinema also is quite low. Furthermore, some of the big companies such as LG, Sony and Samsung already shutdown their 3D TVs production line.
It seems that the consumer market does not really care whether the show has depth or not. As long as they can enjoy the movies with their heart, mind and soul although it is in 2D format.
