Spielberg, Ridley Scott Producing Virtual Reality Entertainment As VR Industry Banks On Hollywood

virtual-reality-goggle-displayVirtual Reality Co., a Los Angeles-based firm started by four Hollywood veterans, is at work on a program that enables users to investigate futuristic crimes in 10- and 15-minute chapters, as well as a documentary experience that lets them ride along with former Pittsburgh Steelers great Jerome Bettis as he prepares for his Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Both projects are helped by Spielberg's presence on VRC's board of directors. The “Jaws” and “Indiana Jones” director is in the midst of a project that one VRC executive told the Journal was meant to be a “full family experience.”

This coincides with Mandalay Entertainment CEO Peter Guber's suggestion that millions of people could attend the next Golden Globes ceremony via virtual reality.
