More To Follow Disney In Virtual Entertainment
By Vishakha Thakur
The metaverse is the next evolution of the internet, where you can immerse yourself in a vibrant digital world using technologies such as augmented and virtual reality. Now, the entertainment industry is incorporating immersive technology and living up to the promise of the metaverse, where you can attend a virtual reality concert by your favourite artist or explore Walt Disney’s metaverse theme park.
Here are some of the most notable examples of how the metaverse is already reshaping the entertainment industry.
Attending virtual concerts
Online gaming platforms such as Fortnite and Roblox are already hosting virtual concerts featuring artists such as Twenty One Pilots, Ariana Grande, and Travis Scott. These virtual experiences have already drawn millions of viewers, and we can expect to see a lot more of them in the future.
VR wave at theme parks
Walt Disney has announced plans to build a metaverse theme park in the coming years, and we already have amusement park rides that are enhanced by AR and VR. In addition, Universal Studios Hollywood will bring a Mario Kart-themed ride from Japan that will use augmented reality to give the illusion that the user is interacting with virtual characters and objects. Theme park visitors will be able to interact with digital creations on the ride in real time.
Immersive movie experience
Innovative directors and producers are already utilising AR and VR to enhance the movie watching experience. Directors can capture 360-degree footage to make viewers feel as if they are a part of the action. This is an excellent method for transporting people to virtual locations all over the world and allowing them to experience what it’s like to be there in person. A lot of the technology developed for video games is now being used in filmmaking as well. In the future, everyone will have a one-of-a-kind experience.
