Spherica Gives Exclusive Look at World’s First VR Action Series “Immersive Combat” at VRLA
San Francisco, California (PRWEB) August 04, 2016 -- The first-ever, 360-degree action series immerses viewers in the heart of combat as Kung Fu, Muay Thai and Medieval Combat world champions battle it out in the worlds of Vikings and pirates, steampunk and cyberpunk. The Spherica production team is set to release more than a dozen live-action VR films in 2016. The series is one of unrivaled complexity and a first for the VR industry, having been filmed with a revolutionary, fully stabilized, moving 360 camera which creates more engaging storytelling and provides a perfect user experience.
Spherica’s innovative proprietary technology brings smooth camera movement to VR filmmaking, which creates never-before-seen, 360-degree stabilized footage from a moving camera that is mounted on a drone or rover. The hardware has the potential to immerse the viewer in the film to a degree impossible with the industry-standard static mount. Road to VR, one of the industry’s leading publications, detailed the impact Spherica’s hardware could have on VR filmmaking. “Ultimately, such effective stabilization could mean more camera mobility for VR film directors who have had to try to adapt to totally static camera placements.” This increased mobility created by the hardware-stabilized rig, coupled with the natural and more comfortable user experience the hardware also provides, enables the VR filmmaking industry to bring cinematic VR storytelling to the next level of audience engagement.
