Technology
The VR Kino+Theater platform integrates traditional forms of entertainment (theater and cinema), with advanced interactive media, (virtual reality and gaming). In this way, it solves the scalability of audience and presentation familiarity, while providing greater flexibility for innovative alternative formats.
The foundations of our proposed solution lies onto three pillars related to technology, production, and delivery aspects which, we believe are the directions for the future media.
The operation of such ecosystem entails new roles for producers, performers and participants.

The Tempest
The Tempest is an experiment based on the Shakespeare’s play that was produced at IMPA’s VISGRAF Lab, as a proof-of-concept of the VR Kino+Theater platform.
After The Tempest
After The Tempest is a continuation of The Tempest which introduces user participation for the exploration of content in virtual reality using the VR Tour framework. VR Tour is based on the VR Kino+Theater platform that exploits Situated Participatory Virtual Reality and Live 3D Cinema.
