VR Film
HTC VIVE ORIGINALS and TurnRhino Original Design Studio joined forces to produce the world’s first 360 VR immersive animation, “The Sick Rose,” which incorporates Taiwanese traditional dough figurine handicraft with stop-motion animation and VR technology – including tens of thousands of hand-made objects. SXSW marks the first time “The Sick Rose” will be shown to American audiences.
By adopting 360 VR macro photography techniques to shoot the project, the audience can be part of the story, wandering through the plot with the characters and diving into the hand-built set.
Through “The Sick Rose,” HTC demonstrates the ways that VR can be used in the entertainment industry to create stories that allow the audience to participate alongside the characters.
