The Suicide Squad is coming and it will be one of the most unusual superhero movies in a while. But, more importantly, it brings with it a VR Experience in partnership with Samsung and it’s Gear VR Headset to the Sandiego Comic-Con International Convention.
In what looks to be a local bar converted into a high-security prison, Warner Bros. and Samsung partnered up to create a Suicide Squad experience that included 360° cameras and Gear VR stations showing off a Comic-Con exclusive VR experience.
The recreated Belle Reve penitentiary space ushered in fans through a long hall decorated with barbed wire and prison cells. Once reaching the end of the passage, the film-themed experiences utilizing Samsung’s latest in immersive technology began.
Before entering the main event space, staff members dressed as prison guards placed you in a prison cell with a Gear 360 camera mounted in the middle from the ceiling. A quick 360° photo snap with friends and you were ready to share your Squad experience to the world.
Above is the Behind the Scenes video detailing the wild VR ride into the Suicide Squad.
