Interactive Live-Action VR Film Afterlife Coming In 2019
A live-action film, Afterlife centres around a one family’s grief after a tragedy as they struggle to deal with their new reality. Challenged to find meaning a mother in denial, a daughter in search of herself and an absent father try to deal with their grief.
Viewers experience each storyline through a child’s eyes, with the studio using a new VR technique dubbed Seamless Interactive Cinematic VR which removes loading screens. The process allows live-action footage to be treated as dynamic content by enabling the experience to adapt organically to the behaviour of the audience, employing gaze-control to identify areas of user’s interest.
Featuring the acting talents of Hubert Proulx as Ray and Alarey Alsip as Emma, Afterlife will have 29 unique prompts that will alter the story of the viewer, ensuring thousands of combinations so that each playthrough can be different with multiple endings.
Signal Space Lab plan on releasing Afterlife in Q1 2019 for Oculus Rift, Oculus Go and Samsung Gear VR, with other platforms added closer to launch. The experience will be split into three episodes with the first instalment being free.
