Storytelling​ in VR 📖

It’s hard to not have “all the feels” watching the above video (Ideally in VR if you’ve got a cardboard headset). The creators have done such an amazing job of crafting a great story with some seriously well thought out VR technique.

For example transitions/cuts within a 360 video like this can be very jarring, and require the user to reorientate themselves with each cut. In this video, they’ve used the fixed position of the car interior to ground the viewer. It’s extremely effective at controlling the flow of the experience.

The audio is also exceptional. Not only does the song do a great job of creating an emotional connection to the characters, but the changes in audio based on when the characters are inside or outside the car are just wonderful. Spatial audio at its finest.

Just a beautiful bit of work.
