Kate Bulkley chairs the panel on virtual theatre and augmented reality, featuring demonstrations of the latest kit.

 

Virtual Reality and 360⁰ storytelling is a burgeoning area, and this session attempts to make sense of a new industry backed by major players and billions of dollars.

But there seem to be more questions than answers. Can Virtual Reality ever be anything more than a toy for gamers?  How do you tell a meaningful story in 360⁰? Why would anyone want to wear a headset in their living room? Are consumers actually generating compelling content themselves? Finally, is there any money to be made, and if so, where are the opportunities for producers, commissioners and platforms? 

Meanwhile, Apple’s Tim Cook maintains virtual reality is more than just a niche “‘It's really cool”. Our panel maps out the terrain, and considers the creative and business opportunities.

The adjacent playroom is where you will find a great range of experiences to help you decide on the consumer appeal for yourself.

Be sure to download the Sky VR app in advance of the event in order to make the most of the evening. Search 'Sky VR' on the Apple Store or on Android Play Store.
