1) BBC Home – A VR SpaceWalk: I like this one the most. The views and models are quite real in 3D, even making audience feel a little bit dizzy after long-time focusing. Also the sense of reality helps you observe more about its 180 space, which successfully builds the environment more real. Though with the processed human voice from the phone, it doesn’t provide enough immersive background sounds, at least for me. The interactions using the gamepads are also not so sensitive and you need to try several times to get used to controlling your hands with them. However, in general, this project does work successfully to fool people’s eyes to experience what is like to be an astronaut.
2). Ghost in the Shell: This title was a movie I have watched before and I was interested in how the VR will handle it to make audience feel real. I’m satisfied with the both music and cyberpunk atmosphere with slow-motion. The 3D is quite good too, enough to provide the reality feeling. But it is far too short and just like a teaser for a 3D movie rather than an experience as stated, in which I was expecting more interactions. Either way, the effects and actions are successful.
3). Jurassic World – Apatosaurus: This one was not the third one I chose before because that one was on a different equipment. Then it is not in 3D but just like a 360 degree 2-minute movie. And the quality of the views are not so well either, compared to the other two titles I tried at least. This one doesn’t give audience a feel that they are in a virtual reality but only watching a 360-degree 3D movie instead, in a heavy helmet.
