Virtual Reality Innovations at Tribeca Film Festival
In a second edition from the Tribeca Film Festival, Click looks at advances in VR, including reflections on Hiroshima, war in Syria and a white man inhabiting a black man鈥檚 body
Click continues its two- the Tribeca Film Festival in New York looking at the advances made in virtual reality in documentary films and immersive experiences. In a special edition co-produced by Lauren Hutchinson, Gareth Mitchell talks to VR film-makers about embodiment where the person undergoing the VR experience is teleported into the body of a VR character and is subject to that foreign character鈥檚 experience, such as police brutality and racism. Click also reports on extraordinary VR experiences such as 鈥楬ero鈥� which transports viewers to the Syrian conflict and 鈥楾he Day the World Changed鈥� which brings to viewers the harrowing impressions of the victims and survivors of atomic bombings and nuclear arms testing through first-hand testimonies, 3D scanning and photogrammetry.
