Post by: javajolt on December 25, 2017, 10:38:53 PM
If you have gifted yourself a Windows Mixed Reality headset this Christmas you may be wondering at this point what to do with it.
You could, however, do a lot worse than enjoy a Christmas screening of Top Gun in a VR cinema (http://s9.postimg.org/mvkde9djj/top-gun.jpg), courtesy of the BigScreen app (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/bigscreen/9pmx4p6d71jf?tduid=(9bd4c7cfb9cf8d3c1ba3efa0e57972f7)(263915)(2775081)()()&rtc=1) and Paramount Home Media Distribution (http://s9.postimg.org/44ig3st67/Paramount-_Home-_Video-1979-paramount-pictures-corporation-1872970.jpg).
They will be showing the movie in VR for free for 24 hours, commencing at 6 pm EST on December 29th.
The movie will offer immersive sound and lighting and allow viewers to interact in the lobby.
“Bigscreen’s virtual reality platform offers a new way for fans to experience films in their homes,” said Bob Buchi, President Worldwide Home Media Distribution, Paramount Pictures.
“We’re excited to be a part of this experiment using cutting-edge technology to give fans a new entertainment option.”
The showing is available in the USA and all major VR platforms are supported, including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, all SteamVR-compatible headsets, and all Windows Mixed Reality headsets. Showtimes are available at bigscreenvr.com/topgun (http://bigscreenvr.com/topgun).
Bigscreen will be showing more movies in 2018, and their app can be found in the store here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/bigscreen/9pmx4p6d71jf?tduid=(9bd4c7cfb9cf8d3c1ba3efa0e57972f7)(263915)(2775081)()()&rtc=1).
