Japan’s very first VR-focused international film festival, Beyond the Frame Festival , is currently underway thanks to a partnership with HTC Vive. The festival, which runs from February 12 through February 21 , will showcase VR films from artists all around the world. Beat // Image Credit: Keisuke Itoh.
This weekend catch a screening of over 38 short films presented entirely in virtual reality. VR social platform AltspaceVR has teamed up with veteran film festival organizers Cyberia to generously bring us an impressively-packed independent short film festival this weekend. 7:30 PM – Birds with Human heads.
This frontier state is radically different from modern game and film graphics. We cover a wide domain of applications, including self-driving cars, robotics, and game and film graphics. But first, to put them and our vision for future AR/VR systems in context, let’s examine how current film, game, and modern VR systems work.
Among the expected fare of films, games, animation, audio products and cosplay during the four-day conference, there was one obvious and unavoidable sorta newcomer to the scene — virtual reality. Most of that hardware growth will be fueled by key products from Samsung, Sony, HTC, Oculus and Google.
To call the original film, which released in 1999, simply genre defining would be an understatement. It’s a revolutionary film that still holds up incredibly well and apparently Warner Bros. If ever there were a movie franchise that should definitely not be rebooted less than 20 years after it debuted, it would be The Matrix.
Holospark, creators of the gorgeous VR app The Impossible Travel Agency , have returned to the VR space with something that aims to meld the best features of gaming and film into an interactive ghost story that can only be told from within a head-mounteddisplay. Check out the official website for more information.
It also offers connectivity to Apple TV and other movie streaming platforms for watching the latest films on demand. The news comes after the head-mounteddisplay showcased at the 2022 Material Matters Design Fair, hosted by the London Design Festival this week. VITURE Updates, Competition.
Eye Tracking Apart from sessions a few years ago using the HTC Vive Pro Eye and Microsoft Hololens, I didn’t have any experience with eye tracking. Though I’m primarily a PCVR user, I’ve used enough headsets like Quest, HTC Vive Focus, and Lenovo Mirage Solo to be familiar with the benefits of going standalone.
With UE4, especially in the past 2½ years since we moved from a subscription to a free model, we’ve seen a lot of interest in markets outside of gaming: architectural, visualization, simulation, film and those kind of “other” areas where you don’t have to necessarily solve those hard problems all at once.
The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal. Neural plugins: The Matrix (film). Total Recall (film).
To help VR industry leaders get their projects off the ground, Pinnell created Kaleidoscope’s invitation-only marketplace, where VR leaders can get a first look at new VR films, games, and experiences that are available for pre-sales, licensing, and other partnerships. The marketplace is limited to 500 members. Read more here.
The company’s work was shown off at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. It utilizes a head-mounteddisplay, small sensors worn on the hands and feet, and a backpack computer along with a suite of motion-tracking cameras. The end result is a full-bodied digital avatar that the player can see within the VR environment.
To prevent this kind of thing from happening — at least in most cases — Valve implemented a system called “Chaperone” into the SteamVR run-time framework that runs their and HTC’s Vive VR headset (and potentially other headsets, through Valve’s OpenVR layer).
These are so integral to the world of RPO that every time we see a character wear a head-mounteddisplay (HMD), he or she also wears a pair of VR gloves. With Oculus Go arriving in early 2018 and HTC Vive an official partner of RPO, headset-makers see a huge upside, regardless of whether the movie is commercially successful.
Video came along and people would hire someone to film a wedding, maybe. Ozo’s output is one single cable going into either your storage or a head-mounteddisplay. We started seeing the first Oculus and HTC headsets this year. One is the installed base of the head-mounteddisplays.
It was a device that the user sat in-front of while their head was encased on four sides by a screen and they watched any one of five films, which all engaged sight, sound, smell and touch. In 1968, Ivan Sutherland and Bob Sproull created the first head-mounteddisplay (HMD) system for immersive simulation applications.
This technology could be in the form of a headmounteddisplay, motion tracking, haptic systems in gloves or suits, locomotion, consoles or image capture. Being one of the earliest films to explore the combination of human computer interaction, TRON is well known for its, at the time, exceptional graphics. TRON (1982).
VR also dominated the pop culture, featuring prominently in films like “Johnny Mnemonic,” “Lawnmower Man” and “Virtuosity.” It’s easy to see how, in the early 1960s, such a system could be viewed as a logical next step beyond the film and television of the day.
And so we can take those objects that are modeled in a CAD system and pull them into a head-mounteddisplay — the Microsoft Hololens — and see those 3D models align with your physical space. And you’re going to look at the HTC Vive, because I have one of the Vive Pres, like the very first one.

One day, we will all regularly consume media through headmounteddisplays, just as we all watch television today. Because of their input, a single DVD was capable of holding 95 minutes of footage (encompassing the runtime of 90% of films) all for a retail price under $20. It’s not a passing fad but an eventuality.
