Have you watched the first two episodes of ‘GONE' on your Gear VR? It’s a movie that is available through Milk VR, and involves a mother and her nine-year-old daughter who goes missing. It’s been about six weeks since the first episodes were released, but the Korean giant is starting the year off right by bringing more of this specific experience to Milk VR users.
While the next three episodes of GONE are more than sufficient to keep VR users happy, there’s also some footage on what life has been like behind the scenes, including the technological challenges that a team faces when shooting VR movies. Whereas normal movies tend to focus on a specific experience of what the screen allows, VR is designed to allow more of the experience – with a “look around” experience that helps you see more of the scene and gather more clues.
While you don’t have to solve the case, however, GONE is unique because it gives you a mosaic of perspectives, including those of the little girl and her mother. The pilot episode of GONE, released in December, rose to fame to become the top content available on Milk VR. We have no doubt that these next three episodes will do the same.
Samsung has decided to showcase the next three GONE episodes at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival alongside of the first-ever VR comedic short comedy with Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer. In a world in which some VR critics are claiming that virtual reality is a lonely experience, Samsung’s is bringing people together with the Gear VR.
