In the virtual reality Dreamscape, you literally walk through the screen of your own movie
“I’ve done a lot of theme park attractions,” says Vaughn. “Try as you may, you really aren’t fully immersed inside. There’s always something separating you from a lot of this stuff. And the same with film—you’re passively watching.”
Dreamscape’s visuals, audio and haptic feedback hit that full immersion mark—mostly. While you can grab onto a railing, your hand may pass right through a wall. Sometimes the real-world, hands-on moments are slightly out of alignment with their virtual counterparts. And suiting up is a multi-step process that makes the gear and space feel a bit more like technology than magic.
