Virtual reality film festival coming to DUMBO
Not your father’s 3D movies
Roughly two dozen virtual reality films will be unveiled in DUMBO on Oct. 6 from 8 to 11 p.m. at the Kaleidoscope VR Film Festival.
Virtual reality (VR) films go beyond 3D technology to immerse participants – who wear a special headset – into a simulated physical environment. Viewers feel as if they are moving about in the real world, or through an imagined environment the filmmaker has created.
Audiences will experience the films through Gear VR equipment supplied by Samsung, as well as Oculus VR headsets.
