Samsung Debuts Gear VR Films at Sundance

Share

sundance_1014 Amongst the independent art films and critical hits showcased at the Sundance Film Festival last week, there was a different kind of visual experience showed off to the masses. Samsung’s Galaxy VR brought virtual reality to the guests at the festival with three experiences, all created by Felix & Paul Studios.

The first short is called Herders, and features Mongolian pastoral herders—one of the last remaining nomadic cultures. The viewer gets to see 7 minutes of life in the herder’s shoes. The second is called Wild- The Experience and features some star power. Reese Witherspoon stars as her character from Wild as you share an intimate 3 minute long moment between her and her ghostly mother. The last film is called Strangers with Patrick Watson, and features the musician and his Montreal studio on a wintery day. Although the films aren’t long or looking to take home any awards, Samsung’s inclusion in the festival at least shows how virtual reality is making progress in its move to the mainstream.
