Katherine Pendrill — September 24, 2015 — Tech
'Samsung' teamed up with 'Oculus Rift' to produce a VR application that recreates the movie theater experience at home. Although there are many ways for consumers to enjoy their favorite movies at home, these programs do not capture the social aspect of going to the movies. This VR application allows users to enjoy the full cinema experience in the comfort of their own home.
'Oculus Cinema' is a new VR application that tackles the constraints of viewing a movie at home. The device is designed to capture the social aspect of the movie theater experience through the use of VR technology. As Oculus founder Palmer Luckey explains, "you want to replicate the experience of being in a movie theater or home theater with all of your friends."
The new application demonstrates how VR technology can be used to enhance the movie viewing experience.
