“Here’s Johnny”…in 360 VR. The Shining is creepily transformed into 360 VR by Claire Hentschker. The description on the Youtube page offers this, Shining360 is a 30-minute audio-visual experiment for VR derived from the physical space within Stanley Kubrick’s film ‘The Shining.’ Using photogrammetry, 3D elements are extracted and extruded from the original film stills, and the subsequent fragments are stitched together and viewed along the original camera path.
I can only imaging the amount of hours invested inn this 360 recreation. Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining would most definitely make a bloodcurdling, mind numbing fear factory of a 360 VR film. Who knows what the future may hold as VR films expand and stretch. Who would you like to see star in a 360 VR version of The Shinning?
According to tech M&A advisory firm Digi-Capital, the VR market could reach the level of $30 Billion by 2020. Full length VR Feature Films could be a big part of that.
