Theaters are exploring VR to attract new audiences and extend their reach. Box Office VR offers a unique theater experience through VR headsets, allowing users to immerse themselves in a 180-degree view of the stage and auditorium. Box Office VR was founded by Kelman and Gemma Greig-Kicks, who have filmmaking and touring theater backgrounds. - The service works with inexpensive systems like Google Cardboard VR Glasses, where users insert their phone into the VR device to watch a show.
- The VR experience targets those who might not typically visit a theater or cannot physically reach a venue.
- So far, around 100 people have downloaded a show through Box Office VR.
- The company has filmed productions for various theaters, including London's Sadler's Wells dance theatre and York Theatre Royal.
- The founders see real potential in the service, especially for shows that can't tour due to size or cost.
By leveraging the power of VR/AR, educators can revolutionize the learning experience and pave the way for educational excellence. |
