A Virtual reality has been a prominent topic for large companies. Google, as always, is attentive. Knowing that 360º videos are essential for the best Virtual Reality experience, Google announced that it would produce a film in partnership with a renowned director of Holywood.
The film was developed in trailers last month and we learned that it would be directed by Justin Lin, the man who was the director of four films in the Fast and Furious series and Star Trek.
The video is five minutes long and features the streets of Los Angeles during an alien invasion downtown. The special effects are impressive and will certainly keep users “stuck” in that reality. This is the first video of the Google project “Spotlight Stories”, which promises to make immersive stories available to the public on mobile devices.
But don't get too excited ...
To have a true 360º experience, it is necessary to have a Google Cardboard or Gear VR, Oculus Rift (or equivalent equipment). If you want to watch without these devices, you can follow via YouTube or the Spotlight Stories app available for Android and iOS.
