Tribeca Immersive takes place in the Tribeca Festival Hub located at Spring Studios - 50 Varick Street. “Jack: Part One” takes users into the world of the classic “Jack and the Beanstalk” fairytale.Ī full list of Tribeca Immersive’s offerings can be found here. Pairs of participants enter an abstract environment where they collaborate to create music with contraptions, friendly animals, and robots, ultimately creating their own original song.įinally, the Festival just announced the addition of the yet another world premiere “Jack: Part One” from Emmy-Award winning Baobab Studios, creators of “Invasion!”, “Asteroids” and “Rainbow Crow”, which was featured in the Festival last year. The Untitled OK Go & WITHIN Project receiving its World Premiere) at Tribeca was created by Chris Milk and Damian Kulash and is produced by WITHIN, OK Go, and Oculus. “Vacation Simulator”, the follow up to one of VR’s genuine hits, “Job Simulator” returns participants to the world of Owlchemy Labs, where they visit Vacation Island and experience “recreation,” optimal “relaxation,” and “sunburn”, helping visitors rediscover the lost art of “time off.” The Immersive Arcade also has a lighter side. The fifteen-minute World Premiere experience is a cosmic journey from the edge of the universe to our “pale blue dot.” The experience uncovers echoes of the Big Bang as it gazes back in time. “The Day the World Changed” brings the harrowing impressions of the victims of the atomic bombing to viewers through a combination of 3-D scanning and photogrammetry.Īnother must-see is Eliza McNitt’s “SPHERES: Pale Blue Dot,” the second installment of the Spheres series, which was acquired at the Sundance Film Festival for a seven-figure sum, a first for a VR experience. “The Day the World Changed” (also a World Premiere) by Gabo Arora and Saschka Unseld uses the HTC Vive’s room scale tracking to situate participants in the ruins of Hiroshima after the bomb, allowing them to witness testimony from survivors and survey the nuclear arms race through immersive, interactive data visualization. “Survivor testimonial projected on the burned-out walls of the Hiroshima Dome.” From The Day the World Changed. Part two, “Tides Fall”, is featured in this year’s Festival. Last year I caught Scatter Studios’ groundbreaking multimedia VR experience, “Blackout”, “Bebylon Battle Royale” a crazy multi-player game by LA-based Kite and Lightning, in which users are giant babies placed in an arena where they drive hovercars and trade punches, and part one of Penrose Studios’ “Arden’s Wake”. The diversity of the Immersive Arcade is striking. Last year I experienced a dozen VR pieces - one-third of the offerings - in three hours. Its vast selection is impossible to take in on one visit. In its ten year history, Tribeca Immersive has grown exponentially. Because of his efforts, we can simply walk in and experience the state of the art of making VR, AR, 360 videos and every combination thereof as artists create new experiences that tell stories and explore the human experience through new media. Hammonds is a thoughtful curator, as I wrote in my review of 2017’s festival and does an incredible service to all of us. Loren Hammonds, Programmer, Film & Immersive, Tribeca Film Festival.
