The Presence is a proof-of-concept demonstration showing how interactive elements can make 360° films more immersive. The story follows four characters through a séance gone wrong. This demo contains two new approaches to VR storytelling: "active" and "reactive." In both versions, the viewer influences how the story unfolds. In the "active" version the viewer is able to jump between multiple perspectives at will; while in the "reactive" version the viewer's gaze motivates the next shot, editing the film organically.

      Additional storage required:  ~1.5GB
      Runtime:  ~6 minutes

The Presence contains strong language and violence and is recommended for a mature audience only.

The Presence works with the Gear VR touchpad or most Bluetooth controllers. For viewers who have a SubPac, The Presence utilizes SubPac’s tactile audio technology for a more immersive experience.

4/5

Interesting concept

Having multiple camera locations to view the action from different angles is quite interesting as it allows the viewer to move around within the scenes adding an extra dimension to the film.
