What were they watching?
They were watching a VR movie made by VRSE about life in a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan. It’s called Clouds Over Sidra. It follows a day in the life of a girl named Sidra who is at the camp.
Chris Milk is the director. Any experience with his name on it has proven to me to be good. I think we’ll be hearing his name a lot as VR explodes over the coming years.
What’s VRSE?
Their slogan is: An expanding universe of VR experiences. They make high quality virtual reality videos/movies/experiences. I have tried several of them and they are all top notch.
How to try it?
VRSE has a free app to download in the Oculus Store on the Gear VR. They also have apps for Android and IOS. It’s best to experience it in virtual reality, but you can still watch the short movie even if you don’t have a VR headset.
