Although still a tiny portion of the mobile device market, virtual reality devices continue to get a lot of attention from the industry. If consumers are going to invest in the technology good content is needed and Roddenberry Entertainment, a media group established by none other than Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, is hoping a new project will answer that call. They are slated to release a new “movie” called White Room: 02B3 that will actually be an app providing a 360-degree view, will be interactive, and will target VR headsets.
According to a release from Roddenberry Entertainment:
“White Room: 02B3 is the story of six strangers who suddenly awaken in a white room and eventually find out that they are unwilling participants in an experiment that could change the face of humanity forever. The film, which has already won film festival awards both domestically and internationally, stars a variety of genre recognizable talent including Breckin Meyer, Tamlyn Tomita, David Blue, Rachel True and Doug Jones, as well as Internet icons Tony Janning and Milynn Sarley.”
When released, the app is slated to run $2.99 in the Google Play Store, although the Samsung Gear VR and Oculus Rift specific versions will not be released until later. You can check out a virtual reality enabled version of a trailer using the source link below. We have also provided the YouTube trailer for the “movie” which you may note was released a couple years ago if that gives you any feel for the time it has taken to make this a reality.
